Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (cooled)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
For Rolling and Cooking
- Additional flour for rolling
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, salt, and baking powder thoroughly to create an even mixture.
- Form Dough: Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms, careful not to overwork the dough to keep it tender.
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out evenly to about ¼-inch thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Cut Scones: Use a knife or cookie cutter to cut the dough into triangles or rounds, whichever shape you prefer for serving.
- Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Scones: Fry the scones for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
- Serve Warm: Serve the potato scones warm with additional butter, jam, or as part of a full breakfast for the best experience.
Notes
- Use cooled mashed potatoes for easier dough handling and better texture.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour to make it easier to roll.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning before the inside cooks through.
- Potato scones can be reheated in a skillet or toaster for a quick snack.
- These scones pair wonderfully with savory dishes or sweet toppings like honey or jam.
