Irish Herb Scones Potato Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Mash potatoes well, add real butter and salt.
• Add as much flour as potatoes will take without becoming too dry.
• Turn out onto a floured board, roll until ¼ inch in thickness.
• Cut into circles, approximately 2½" in diameter.
• Prick all over with a fork.
• Cook on a hot dry griddle or heavy pan dusted with a little flour.
• When they brown with small darker spots appearing, they are cooked.
• Serve hot off the griddle with maple syrup, golden syrup, honey or butter.
• Wrap uneaten scones in greaseproof paper and refrigerate.
• Reheat cold scones by frying them in bacon fat until crisp, and serve with bacon and eggs - delicious!
• *Flour amount varies according to the type of potato used.
• For Vegetarian omit the bacon fat. Do not refry in Bacon fat to reheat for Vegetarian. And you might want to serve it with Vegetarian bacon not real bacon.

Steps:

• Heat a lightly greased griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Mash potatoes with flour, butter, and salt until a stiff dough forms.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough lightly and roll dough out to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into six triangular wedges.
• Working in batches, cook scones, turning once on hot griddle until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender. Drain. Peel. Rice.
• Mix with the bacon fat, salt and flour.
• Roll out into a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut in 2 inch circles. Prick all over with a fork.
• Heat an iron skillet over high heat.
• Add scones, a few at a time. Turn heat to medium. Cook until browned and speckled.
• YUM!

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (*except* for the oil/butter used for frying) in a large mixing bowl.
• Heat up a skillet (cast iron this time) on medium heat. Add oil and/or butter and melt; about 1-2 tablespoons.
• Shape the potato mixture into patties. Lightly dust the potato pancakes with flour. Fry until golden brown; approximately 5 minutes. Turn over, lightly dust with more flour and cook another 5 minutes. Do not crowd the potatoes when frying. Cook in batches.
• Serve the Irish "scone" pancakes with sour cream on the side, if desired.
