Instructions

Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, butter, salt, and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Roll Out: Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut and Cook: Cut the dough into triangles or rounds. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and cook the scones for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Serve warm with butter or jam.

Notes

Use leftover mashed potatoes, but avoid using ones with cream or gravy.
For a richer flavor, substitute part of the butter with cream cheese.
Potato scones are traditionally served as part of a Scottish breakfast but are also great as a snack or side dish.
