Ingredients
- 300g Scottish Potatoes
- 65g Plain Flour

- Peel and halve the potatoes before placing in a pan of salted water to boil. Once tender, drain, mash with the butter and season with a little pepper.
- Next, add the flour and mix until you have a pliable dough. Now turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll to the depth of a pound coin.

- Heat a heavy frying pan and brush with oil. Now fry the pieces of dough for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
