Spud Scones

Spud Scones recipe image
These Spud Scones are a comforting, rustic treat that transforms simple boiled potatoes into golden, pan-fried delights. Unlike traditional oven-baked scones, these are cooked on a griddle, giving them a distinct crispiness on the outside while remaining soft and tender within. The addition of self-rising flour provides a light lift, while the butter adds a rich, savory depth. They are incredibly versatile, serving perfectly as a hearty breakfast side, a unique snack, or a gluten-free friendly alternative if using appropriate flour. Made with just four main ingredients, they are quick to prepare and bring a warm, homemade feel to any meal. Serve them hot from the skillet for the best texture and flavor.

Note

Use real boiled potatoes for best results; do not use instant mashed potato mix as it will not yield a light scone texture.

These scones are best served immediately while hot and crisp. They can be reheated in a toaster oven to restore crispiness.

If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it is too dry, add a tiny bit of water.
