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
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- 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.
- Cook the scones for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked scones to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture until all the scones are cooked.
- Serve the potato scones warm with butter or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
