Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large Maris Piper potato (about 225g), quartered
2 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for frying
60g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
½ tsp baking powder
vegetable oil, for frying
100g smoked salmon or trout
60g soured cream
1 tbsp finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • Bring a small pan of water to the boil and simmer the potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Return the potatoes to the pan and mash with the butter. Stir in the flour, baking powder, ½ tsp salt and a good grinding of black pepper.
  • Tip the potato mixture onto a lightly floured work surface and press into a circle roughly 15cm wide and about 1cm thick, then cut into four wedges.
  • Heat a splash of oil and a knob of butter in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over a medium heat, and fry one of the scones for 3-4 mins on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining scones.
  • Divide the scones and smoked salmon or trout between two plates, then top with the soured cream and chopped chives. Season and serve.
