Scottish Potato Scones

[@truckertom3323]

I never knew that was how they were made? when i was a wee lad my Grannie used to make them, fried egg n bacon, tattie scones, or scrambled eggs on tattie scones, happy days.

So is my great friend Michelle (the greatest) Connelly😊 the one that introduced us to potato scones when she lived here in 🇨🇦 for a few years. When visiting her, I really enjoyed Clydebank, friendly, busy but not too busy and not too far from the city centre. 🇨🇦❤️

[@bellainthebayou]

Thank you so much for making these! My mother would make them and called them Potato Farls. Her mother would make them on a Wednesday in preparation for the Thursday Fry. Such fond memories. I loved your presentation. I can't wait to share this with the family.

As I like the Scottish accent listening to this was almost like listening to a ASMR video. Greetings from Italy.

[@issypaleface3449]

They've always been Tottie scones to me I'm Scottish from Glasgow....I have a Tottie scone a fried egg and a thick slice black pudding every Saturday.....My granny used to put butter (well Margarine....we call real butter "Good Butter) anyway spread butter on before they were heated and eat it like a piece but you probably know that.....great wee video. Thanks

[@seamusmccaffrey4420]

In Ireland we call them potato bread much the same thing, best when fried in the bacon fat, Yum Yum,

[@patsyoconner9506]

[@nirnman]

or here in the North, we call them Fadge and I remember my granny making them on a gas-powered griddle as well as soda and wheaten farls (le the triangular tatty scones but about an inch to an inch and a half thick) and queuing up to eat them hot and buttered (no marge in those days)

Robert Henderson and butter is much better for you too.

[@Mandaxx25]

@@nirnman we don't all call them fadge in the North. I never heard that until I was in my 20s. We just called them potato farls. Or tatey bread. Someone asked me did I want some fadge and I was like wtf is he saying to me? 😂

Lovely job girl. I'm in the states now too. Orig from Belfast. I'll be making these. Found a fantastic recipient for wheaten bread the other day. I've made soda farls, so now the potato if I could find good sausages id have an Ulster fry lol.

I was brought up by Irish parents in Scotland. In Co. Down, N. Ireland Tatties are called Purdies, and Tatty Scones are called Purdy Bread.

[@Mandaxx25]

Tatey bread in county Antrim too :) which is also another word for dead lol

[@BTSHIQ]

As a Glaswegian, we knew them as tottie scones too! My whole family love them. Always in a Full Scottish Breakfast (or fry up) with sausage (lorne or link), back bacon, fried eggs, sometimes black pudding and occasionally baked beans. My dad especially loved something sweet in his fry up so would add fried fruit pudding slice or clootie dumpling slice or a pancake. He would make our breakfast every Sunday morning! So yummy! We would never add tomatoes. We only saw those in an English fry up!

Very educational! I tried Scottish scones a few days ago and I'd give them 5 out of 10, even though my family loved them. Our ancestors immigrated to America from Scotland in the 1500's and we still have a Bible from then, the only piece of history from then. They came on a ship called the Maria. I shall try your recipe, which looks a lot easier than the one I tried before. Please make more videos, I'm dying for more recipes. :)

Thank you, so sincerely, for sharing this recipe. Interesting to me that in all my 29+ years (never 'gonna' admit to what the + stands for LOL) I have NOT heard of potato scones.

[@sirderam1]

Potato Scones are a savoury scone, they're not meant to be eaten with strawberry jam. In Scotland they're usually a breakfast dish, eaten with eggs (fried, scrambled, poached, etc, according to your preference), bacon, perhaps sausage. Fried tomatoes and mushrooms also work well with them. Given the amount of calories and cholesterol in this sort of fried breakfast it is usually a weekend treat rather than an everyday breakfast. Potato (Tatty or Tottie) Scones will keep in the fridge for a few days and in the freezer for months. Re-heating is usually the same method as the original cooking but just for a shorter time. If they've been frozen then they would need to defrost before re-heating.

[@pajohnson3041]

[@hume6900]

Any other Canadian remember being able to buy them in packs of 6 I believe from Eaton’s? This was at least in the bakery department in Winnipeg. Now living in Ottawa, I can get them at the Scottish Irish Shop where you can get either Scottish or Irish potato scones,only differences are the size and the packaging. Btw, I have never had them in circles. I have a bunch in my freezer right now. We just fry them up and add butter when they come off the heat.

[@NemoBlank]

I'm going to have to try those. I used to eat something like that as a kid in South Carolina. The difference was that the mashed taters were mixed with cornmeal. It was all rolled out, cut in circles with an old empty can and fried up in bacon grease. It was pretty tasty, especially with a little karo. We called them hoecakes and a bunch were cooked at once in the big frying pan. Never saw them cut up in triangles or anything. I always liked them better than grits.

[@nelzmcmillan9237]

I'd say that is basically tattie scones.

Going to give it a go this week! I was staying in Scotland for a few months and these potato scones (and the scotch pie!) are probably what I miss the most! I had tried another recipe before but the exterior didn't come out as crispy as those I had back in Scotland. Any ideas on how to make them more crispy? Thanks for the recipe! 😊

Initially they are made exactly as shown, however you can then fry them in bacon fat, or oil, or any fat of your choosing....but best in bacon fat...the taste is awesome

[@lorainecassidy2632]

Being vegan I don't add milk and I do use margarine. They still taste yummy. I even bought some from the local British store and they used instant potatoes which weren't too bad. My granda from County Down in Ireland also called them fadge maybe it's a left over Irish word. In Belfast, my native city, we called them potato farls. They were usually fried in the pan with bacon, eggs and soda farls for breakfast. Thanks a million for the recipe - I always just guessed what to do and it turns out we both make them pretty much the same .

That almost like a potato flat bread. Looks good, though. I’ll have to try them. I love making scones, but mine rise and are more bread-y. My dough is a good bit wetter and stickier, too. Next time I’ll add a little more flour and try that. I was always afraid of adding too much more flour than my recipe calls for, because I was afraid of making them tough.
