Best Scottish Fried Potatoes Recipes
SCOTTISH "FRIED" POTATOES
These potatoes aren't "fried" at all, but simmered in broth in a frying pan on the stovetop. The potatoes are very tasty and tender and are especially good in the winter. My family loves this with pork or beef roasts and carrots.

Steps:
- Melt butter/margarine in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
- Arrange sliced potatoes and onions in the skillet over the butter and sprinkle with salt, paprika, peppers, and parsley.
- Allow potato mixture to cook for a few minutes, turning to brown evenly. Potatoes should be just barely browned.
- Add the broth and the water to the skillet and cover tightly with a lid.
- Turn heat down to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed. Stir several times during cooking to prevent potatoes from sticking.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter and saute potatoes, turning to coat.
- Stir in the chives and just enough water to keep potatoes from sticking to the pan.

- Mash potatoes in the pot (no need to drain); stir in salt & pepper to taste, and the sour cream.
- Serve Champit Tatties hot & garnished with snipped fresh parsley, or top with skirlie - oats fried in butter or crisp crumbled bacon, as desired.

SKIRLIE MASH - SCOTTISH MASHED POTATOES WITH ONIONS AND OATS
A beautiful, creamy and traditional accompaniment for your Burns Night haggis, Hogmanay or indeed any beef or game dishes; this mashed potato is delicious and very nutritious. It contains onions as well as oats, for a mashed potato recipe which is delightfully different! The word "skirlie" is the name of the oatmeal and onion compound that is added to the mashed potatoes, as you have to "skirl" it around the pan! Skirlie is often used as a base for stuffing, and is made and eaten in Northern England, as well as in Scotland. This recipe was taken from BBC Good Food, January 2006.

Steps:
- Boil the potatoes until very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the skirlie. Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and cook for 10 mins until golden and soft. Add the oatmeal and stir until the butter is absorbed and the mix looks dry. Continue cooking until the skirlie is toasted, stirring (skirling round the pan) all the time for 5 mins, but do not let it catch and burn. Remove and keep warm.
- Drain the potatoes, return to the hot pan and mash really well. Beat in the cream, parsley and skirlie, then season to taste with salt and white pepper.
- Serve immediately before the skirlie softens, with haggis or any beef and game dishes.
