Tatties

Ingredients:

2 large russet potatoes, cut into large cubes
salt and pepper
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded

Boil the potatoes in salted water. When they are cooked through, drain and mash with a potato masher while still hot. Stir in salt, pepper, butter, and flour.

Divide dough into two equal pieces and allow to rest for half an hour.

When dough is cooled, roll one half out onto a floured surface into a circle or rectangle. Sprinkle cheese on top. Roll out second piece and place on top of the cheese. Seal the edges and cut into eight equal pieces with a pizza cutter.

Shallow fry the scones for a few minutes until golden brown on each side. Serve immediately.
