Potato pancakes

[Camper6]

This is a great recipe for leftover mashed potatoes. I had it for lunch today.

Instead of using chopped scallions, I used chopped up green pepper which I love. It adds a nice taste to a meal.

Served with sour cream. (and beer)

I remember them from the old days with bacon or salami bits right in the pancakes but it was like a huge pie not individuals.

Scones? My in laws from England. They were more like a biscuit than a pancake.

Yes scones normally look like this...

but for some reason, the potato (pancakes) are called potato scones...

Those scones look scrumptious. Will give them a try.

Good latkes recipe, using mashed potatoes, instead of shredded ones. I substitute egg replacer, vegan cheddar, and (very low gluten) spelt flour. Applesauce and vegan sour cream are a must, when serving, at my table.

Also you can add sultanas (dust them in a little flower first or they'll sink to the bottom), to make fruit scones... or replace the sugar and add a couple ounces of strong cheese, to make cheese scones!!

Yummy yummy.. Mrs L makes good scones that we eat with butter and jam. Love potato 'scones' with bacon and egg for breakfast. There are plenty in the shops, but of variable quality.

I have an old cookbook. I will look it up. I notice the old recipes use lard.

I have never used Lard, even in school when we were taught to make scones ( 50 years ago), we always used margarine or butter... . Try and make sure your butter is really cold and chopped into little pieces , and then when rubbing into the flour use just a light touch with cold fingertips and keep your fingers high above the mixing bowl.. until the mix resembles breadcrumbs..

Mrs L. uses margarine. She say's she never uses lard and is too mean to use butter. No matter, her scones taste great. I cook the family meals, Mrs. L does the baking. Our son bakes his own bread - he doesn't eat shop bought bread at all.

I have a kind of a wire gizmo that breaks up the butter into the flour.

That works well too, but try and incorporate the air into the flour , so the scones will be light and not heavy !!

I understand. Working the dough too much even for pies makes it tough.
