Tattie Scones

By RecipeLot

Tattie scones, also called potato scones or potato bread, are a regional variant of the savoury "griddle scone" which is especially popular in Scotland. Many variations of recipe exist, however they generally include liberal quantities of boiled Tatties (potatoes) and salt. Potato scones are traditionally quarter circular fan shaped, and generally about 90 mm in radius. Because of this, potato scones are often bought in multiples of four. They are distinct from other scones in being made deliberately thin (usually 7 mm or so) ? they are, in many ways, more like a soft oatcake than a true scone. Nowadays, they're usually served as part of a cooked breakfast with fried eggs, bacon, etc. They are also considered by many Scots to be a perfect accompaniment to Irn-Bru as a hangover cure. A fairly easy recipe for potato scones is as follows:
