Easy potato scones

Give your menu a makeover with this cracker recipe - by Amy Sinclair
  • 20 May 2019
Easy potato scones
Prep: 10 Minutes - Easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

Serve these potato scones with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, or if you are feeling a bit more adventurous, blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

Ingredients

250g/9oz potatoes, cut into cubes

200g/8oz plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

50g/2oz butter, melted, plus extra for frying

3 tbsp milk

2 eggs, beaten

2 tsp oil, for frying

Method

  1. 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.

  2. 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 one of the toppings suggested above as a hearty brunch for friends.
