Easy Potato Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in plenty of salted simmering water until tender. Drain well and mash. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs, mash and plenty of seasoning and mix to a sticky dough.
• Heat some butter and a little oil in a large frying pan. Fry dollops of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until browned. You may need to do this in 2 batches so keep the fried ones warm in the oven. Serve with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, or blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

Steps:

• Bring potatoes to a boil in a pot of lightly salted water. Reduce heat, and simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.
• While still warm, push potatoes through the large holes of a ricer, or use a potato masher to mash them until smooth (you should have 2 1/2 cups). Stir butter into warm potatoes until combined well. Stir together flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then stir into potatoes with a wooden spoon until just combined. Form dough into a ball on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with a dish towel, and let cool for 20 minutes.
• Dust rolling pin and work surface with flour, and roll out dough to an 8-by-10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle half with cheese, and fold to create a 4-by-10-inch rectangle. Gently roll out. With a floured knife, cut dough into four 2 1/2-by-4-inch rectangles, then cut each in half diagonally.
• Heat a griddle or a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add 1 teaspoon butter. When it has completely melted and is sizzling, cook 4 scones until golden brown and cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Keep scones warm in a 200 degree oven while you cook the remaining dough.

Steps:

• Mash potatoes well, add real butter and salt.
• Add as much flour as potatoes will take without becoming too dry.
• Turn out onto a floured board, roll until ¼ inch in thickness.
• Cut into circles, approximately 2½" in diameter.
• Prick all over with a fork.
• Cook on a hot dry griddle or heavy pan dusted with a little flour.
• When they brown with small darker spots appearing, they are cooked.
• Serve hot off the griddle with maple syrup, golden syrup, honey or butter.
• Wrap uneaten scones in greaseproof paper and refrigerate.
• Reheat cold scones by frying them in bacon fat until crisp, and serve with bacon and eggs - delicious!
• *Flour amount varies according to the type of potato used.
• For Vegetarian omit the bacon fat. Do not refry in Bacon fat to reheat for Vegetarian. And you might want to serve it with Vegetarian bacon not real bacon.

Steps:

• Mash potatoes, add salt and butter and flour to give a stiff mixture.
• Turn out onto floured surface, knead lightly and roll out to a thickness of 1cm (1/2inch).
• Cut into triangles and cook on a hot greased griddle for 4-5 min on each side.
• Serve hot

Steps:

• Heat a lightly greased griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
