I remember making this when i was at school using real mashed potatoes, was soooo good but have never been able to find the same or similar reciepe!Does anyone have the reciepe that actually uses mashed potatoes rather than dry 'add water' potatoes? thanks in advance :)

This is a traditional alternative to a yeasty potato bread.

SCOTTISH GIRDLE (OR GRIDDLE) SCONES

Ingredients:
225g boiled and mashed potatoes
65g flour
3 tablespoons melted butter
Half teaspoon salt

Method:
Mash the potatoes while they are still warm and add the butter and salt. Add in enough flour to make it a pliable dough but without making it too dry. The type of potato will affect this. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll until about quarter of an inch thick. Cut into six inch circles and then into quarters. Prick all over with a fork and cook in a heavy pan which has been lightly greased. Cook each side for about three minutes or until golden brown. If you want to really add the calories, put cheese between two scones and cook until the cheese has melted, or smother with butter and raspberry jam.
