Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 2 teaspoons for skillet
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 pound Tipperary cheese or sharp white cheddar, diced small (about 1/3 inch)

Directions

Bring potatoes to a boil in a pot of lightly salted water. Reduce heat, and simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.

While still warm, push potatoes through the large holes of a ricer, or use a potato masher to mash them until smooth (you should have 2 1/2 cups). Stir butter into warm potatoes until combined well. Stir together flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then stir into potatoes with a wooden spoon until just combined. Form dough into a ball on a lightly floured work surface. Cover with a dish towel, and let cool for 20 minutes.

Dust rolling pin and work surface with flour, and roll out dough to an 8-by-10-inch rectangle. Sprinkle half with cheese, and fold to create a 4-by-10-inch rectangle. Gently roll out. With a floured knife, cut dough into four 2 1/2-by-4-inch rectangles, then cut each in half diagonally.

Heat a griddle or a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat, and add 1 teaspoon butter. When it has completely melted and is sizzling, cook 4 scones until golden brown and cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Keep scones warm in a 200 degree oven while you cook the remaining dough.

                It is one of my all-time favorite potato recipes. They are like baked mashed potatoes, crispy on the outside but very fluffy inside. This is a keeper.

                You really need egg to bind this mixture together so it doesn't crumble so easily.

                So rich and delicious! I was having a hard time flipping them and they were losing their shape (perhaps I should have added more flour?) so I ended up making them smaller than what was recommended, but they turned out great! This would be good to make for a brunch (but I would eat it any time of day!!)
