MWM Potato Scones

It is Monday again and I have for you MWM Potato Scones. These are near and dear to my heart as my grandmother always made them for me when I was coming home from school. They are great for a St. Patrick’s Day treat and making them once you will want them again and again!!

I can still remember so vividly coming in the house after school and smelling the gorgeous potato scones wafting through the air. She would have it timed perfectly for when I arrived home. I would run into the kitchen and she would be lifting these out of her cast iron pan and onto a plate for me, butter at hand for smoothing on and melting. I would gobble them down and she always made extras as they were so good cold too!

A warm fresh potato scones right from the pan couldnt' be more comforting. Try these for St. Patricks' day or anyday!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 6 minutes
Total Time 21 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. mashed potatoes, cold from the night before
  • 1 cup flour

  • 1 Tbsp. cold butter and more for frying
  • 1 1/2 – 2 Tbsp. milk

Instructions

  1. Sift together dry ingredients and rub cold butter into the flour with your fingers until it resembles a coarse meal. Add the mashed potatoes and mix with a fork. Make a well in the center and pour in milk. Incorporate the flour into the milk until you can form a ball adding additional milk if needed.
  2. On a floured surface turn out dough and knead until you have a smooth dough. Roll out into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into triangles. Heat a cast iron pan with a dab of melted butter over medium heat. Careful not to burn the butter. Fry the scones about 3 min. a side until golden brown. Serve hot with a dab of butter.

    These look like potato bread that is eaten with fry-ups in Northern Ireland, not sure if they are the same ingredients though.

      It’s the same slight variation on the amount of potato, but being from Ireland myself also this is clearly Potato Bread, aka Potato Farls. I’ve never heard of it being called Potato scones.

        Maybe that was just what my gran called them although I have found other recipes in an Irish cookbook that called them that too??

      I just looked into it further. It appears “potato scone” or “tottie scone” is actually of Scottish origin – your gran’s heritage must originally come from there which possibly means during the plantation era! 🙂 Scots/Irish we’re all basically the same!

    My grandmother called them “tottie scones” … Her family was from Northern Ireland … still have family there in Port o Down. I love all potatoes …!

    Thanks for the recipe. I’m from Northern Ireland and can definitely say these are tattie bread/potato bread (tattie is slang for potato). Appreciate the recipe since I moved away from home and can’t buy these anywhere. Can finally make proper Ulster frys again.

      Grandma never used that slang for potatoes, maybe she was away from Ireland too long but she loved making these and her potato scones! https://noshingwiththenolands.com/potato-scones-st-patricks-day/
