Potato scones are very popular served with breakfast, the basic ingredients used in the preparation of Potato or "Tattie Scones" means they are suitable for vegetarians and vegans alike.
Although the recipe below asks for (225g) of boiled Potatoes, most people making mashed potatoes will simply add a couple of extra tatties for use in this recipe.
Weights are not that important and should only be used as a rough guideline, Scottish Mothers simply experimented and found a recipe the whole family enjoyed, i suggest you do the same.
HINT: Potato Scones and Macaroon Bars are a great way of using up leftover mashed potatoes.
