Best Scottish Fried Potatoes Recipes

HOME-FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring often, until soft; about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Pour remaining 2 tablespoons of oil into the skillet and turn heat to medium-high. Add potato cubes, salt, paprika and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are browned; about 10 minutes. Stir in the onions, green peppers and parsley and cook for another minute. Serve hot.

SCOTTISH RUMBLEDETHUMPS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F/180 C/Gas 4. Add the mashed potato and swede to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
• Melt 2 ounces of the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely sliced cabbage or kale and cook gently for several minutes until softened but not brown.
• Add the cooked cabbage or kale to the bowl of potato and swede along with the remaining butter and mash together thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Potato can soak up salt, so be generous with it to add a good flavor.
• Place the mashed vegetables in an ovenproof baking dish and sprinkle the cheese on top. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until heated through.
• Remove the lid and cook for another 5 mins or until golden brown and a little crispy on the top.
• Serve piping hot as a side or main dish and enjoy.

CHAMPIT TATTIES: SCOTTISH MASHED POTATOES

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.
• Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are done; check periodically and add a little water as needed to prevent potatoes from scorching.
• 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

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.

SCOTTISH BUBBLES AND SQUEAK PATTIES

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash potatoes, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine cabbage and carrot in another saucepan and add just enough water to barely cover the bottom of the pan. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain off liquid and stir into the mashed potatoes along with the onion, mustard and Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Heat a greased grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the pan and grill until heated through and golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve right away.
