Irish potato cakes

My take on Irish Potato Scones

Potatoes are a very versatile tuber vegetable. They can be fried, baked, boiled, mashed, roasted. This is my take on the Irish potato scone I call potato cake. They serve these scones hot with maple syrup, golden syrup or butter.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups boiled mashed potatoes
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 3 Tbsp butter, (not margarine)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Mash potatoes, add butter and salt. Add as much flour as potatoes will take without becoming too dry. Turn out onto a floured board, roll until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles and prick all over with a fork.
  • In a non stick frypan dusted with a little flour, I cooked on medium high heat. When darker small spots appear they are cooked. Put on a plate and cover with foil and put in the oven to keep warm, while you cook the others.
  • Serve hot with what ever meats you cook.

Notes

  • The amount of flour you use will depend on the type of potato used. You may use all or less of the flour.
