Potato scones (tattie scones)

Ingredients

• 500 g Mashed Potatoes
• 100 g All-purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 3 tbsp Applesauce
• 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 500 g Mashed Potatoes, 100 g All-purpose Flour, 1 tsp Baking Powder, and 0.5 tsp Salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly with the mashed potatoes until no streaks of flour remain.
2. 2Add the 3 tbsp Applesauce to the potato and flour mixture. Mix everything together until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a tiny bit more of the 100 g All-purpose Flour, but be careful not to add too much.
3. 3On a clean surface that has been lightly dusted with a little bit of the 100 g All-purpose Flour, roll out the dough using a rolling pin to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
4. 4Using a knife or a round cookie cutter, cut the dough into your desired shapes. You can make triangles or circles, about 2-3 inches across. You will use the 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil in the next step.
5. 5Place a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil to the skillet and let it heat up until it shimmers slightly. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
6. 6Carefully place the cut dough shapes onto the heated skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is a golden brown color and you can see small bubbles forming on the surface.
7. 7Flip the scones over using a spatula. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, until it is also golden brown and the scone feels firm to the touch. The scones are ready when they are evenly browned on both sides and cooked through.
8. 8Remove the potato scones from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve the potato scones warm.
