How To Make Potato SconesIngredients for Potato Scones

500g of mashed potatoes 100g of plain flour 50g of butter Pinch of salt

Boil the tatties and then mash them thoroughly. Add butter and salt if needed. A healthier potato scone recipe should omit the salt. In a mixing bowl mix in the plain flour with the mashed tatties ensuring the potato scones mixture does not go dry.

Empty onto a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll out the mixture evenly and to a desired height of about 3mm. Cut the potato scones into the traditional shape of triangles, though some bakers now sell round tattie scones.
