Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 2 teaspoons for skillet
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 pound Tipperary cheese or sharp white cheddar, diced small (about Va inch)

Steps:

  • 1. Bring potatoes to a boil in a pot of lightly salted water. Reduce heat, and simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well. 2. While still warm, push potatoes through the large holes of a ricer, or use a potato masher to mash them until smooth (you should have 2 1/2 cups). Stir butter into warm potatoes until combined well. Stir together flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then stir into potatoes with a wooden spoon until just combined. Form dough into a ball on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with a dish towel, and let cool for 20 minutes. 3. Dust rolling pin and work surface with flour, and roll out dough to an 8-by-10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle half with cheese, and fold to create a 4-by-l0-inch rectangle. Gently roll out. With a floured knife, cut dough into four 2 1/2-by-4-inch rectangles, then cut each in half diagonally. 4. Heat a griddle or a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add l teaspoon butter. When it has completely melted and is sizzling, cook 4 scones until golden brown and cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Keep scones warm in a 200° oven while you cook the remaining dough.

These potato scones were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

I've tried many potato scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just reheat them when I'm ready to eat.

These potato scones were a bit denser than I expected, but they were still very good. I think I would add a bit more flour next time to make them a bit lighter.

I made these potato scones for breakfast this morning and they were a hit! My kids loved them and my husband said they were the best potato scones he's ever had. They were so fluffy and flavorful.

These potato scones were absolutely delicious! I've never made them before, but they were so easy to follow and turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
