These potato scones are a perfect breakfast or brunch dish. Made with mashed potatoes and a few simple ingredients, they are soft and fluffy on the inside with a crispy exterior. Serve them with butter and your favorite toppings for a delightful and filling meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 egg, beaten

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  4. Using a spoon or scoop, drop around 1/4 cup of the potato mixture onto the skillet. Flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a round shape.
  5. Cook the scones for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer the cooked scones to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture until all the scones are cooked.
  8. Serve the potato scones warm with butter or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
