Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and chop them into evenly sized pieces. Boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the potatoes well and mash them until smooth. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool to a warm, but not hot, temperature.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the butter, salt, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Gradually add the flour to the potato mixture, kneading lightly to form a soft dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the dough to about 1 cm (0.5 inch) thickness. Use a round cutter, or cut into triangles, to shape the scones.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil.
Cook the scones in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve the potato scones warm with butter, jam, or as a side with eggs and bacon for a hearty breakfast.
