Potato and Cheese Scones image

The excellent cheese flavor of these biscuit-like scones goes so well with soups and chilies. It's also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Best served warm.

These scones were a bit too cheesy for my taste, but they were still good.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but they had a good flavor. I think next time I'll add a little more milk to the dough.

I've made these scones several times now and they always turn out great! They're so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can add whatever cheese I have on hand, so they're always a little bit different.

These scones were absolutely delicious! I made them for breakfast this morning and they were a hit with my family. The scones were light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of cheese and potato flavor. I will definitely be making these again soon!
