Ingredients

Units Scale

Mashed Potatoes:

  • 1 cup mashed potatoes (plain, cooled)

Flour Mixture:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Additional:

  • 2–3 tablespoons milk (as needed)
  • extra flour for rolling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, flour, softened butter, salt, and baking powder until a soft dough forms. Add milk as needed to bring the dough together smoothly.
  2. Knead and Shape: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead briefly until smooth, then roll out to ¼-inch thickness and cut into rounds or triangles.
  3. Cook: Heat a greased skillet, cook the scones for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as a side to eggs and bacon.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, use mashed potatoes made with cream or butter.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or toaster oven.
