Best 4 Scottish Fried Potatoes Recipes

SCOTTISH "FRIED" POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt butter/margarine in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
• Arrange sliced potatoes and onions in the skillet over the butter and sprinkle with salt, paprika, peppers, and parsley.
• Allow potato mixture to cook for a few minutes, turning to brown evenly. Potatoes should be just barely browned.
• Add the broth and the water to the skillet and cover tightly with a lid.
• Turn heat down to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Stir several times during cooking to prevent potatoes from sticking.

HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft; about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add potato cubes, salt, paprika and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned; about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, green peppers and parsley and cook for another minute. Serve hot.

SCOTTISH BUBBLES AND SQUEAK PATTIES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash potatoes, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine cabbage and carrot in another saucepan and add just enough water to barely cover the bottom of the pan. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain off liquid and stir into the mashed potatoes along with the onion, mustard and Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Heat a greased grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the pan and grill until heated through and golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve right away.

CHAMPIT TATTIES: SCOTTISH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt butter and saute potatoes, turning to coat.
• Stir in the chives and just enough water to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan.
• Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are done; check periodically and add a little water as needed to prevent potatoes from scorching.
• Mash potatoes in the pot (no need to drain); stir in salt & pepper to taste, and the sour cream.
• Serve Champit Tatties hot & garnished with snipped fresh parsley, or top with skirlie - oats fried in butter or crisp crumbled bacon, as desired.
