Potato Scone Recipe using Christmas Leftover Mash #christmasfoodideas #christmas

POTATO SCONES (or is it Tattie Scones?)

Ideal for leftover mashed potato from Christmas dinner! I ALWAYS have leftover mash so these are a crowd pleaser for giving them a new lease of life in the days after Xmas 😁
 
Although I’m giving you the recipe from ‘scratch’, you can absolutely use whatever leftovers you have – just make sure that you season it appropriately with salt & pepper and add some extra butter for good measure! Nothing worse than bland tattie scones!

I have only used approx. 250g of raw potato as you’d be surprised how many potato scones you can get from it! But feel free to scale up or down as required as they freeze really well too ❄️

Ingredients
– 250g raw potato
– 50g salted butter
– dash of cream (optional)
– 135g self raising flour (plus more for dusting and shaping)
– salt & white pepper

Method
1. Peel potato and cook in salted water until soft
2. Mash (or rice) potato, then add salted butter and stir through
3. Mix through flour and white pepper using your hands, and form into a ball of dough
4. Roll out ball of dough on a floured surface and cut into desired shape, approx. 3/4cm thick
5. Fry in a knob of butter – 4/5mins on each side until golden brown

GENERAL GUIDANCE: add approx. half the weight of the potato of flour to the mixture, so a ratio of 2:1, then gradually add a little extra flour if you think it needs it – we want the dough to be light and fluffy but not sticky
