Yesterday definitely called for comfort food. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, but it was absolutely freezing outdoors. The morning temperature was -7 C, but factor in the wind chill and it felt like -14 C. I had a short walk to our mailbox (about 20 minutes in total and quite long enough!) before I headed into the kitchen to get baking.
I made potato scones from a recipe in the Irish Countrywomen's Association Cook Book, which I borrowed from the library. This is a great way to use up leftover mashed potato, which seems to hang about in the fridge and any attempts at reheating it result in a lumpy mess. I also made their carrot soup, which put some rather woody carrots to good use. The recipes were both a success in our house and the potato scones were light and delicious.
I love the sort of recipes which use up things which might otherwise be thrown away. It feels so virtuous, and these look delish. x
ReplyDeleteThey are both very tasty recipes and I will definitely make them again. Marie x
DeleteDelicious! That's the first I've heard of potato scones. Back home in America potato rolls are made (with leftover mash) and are very good...so I must try the scones! :) Thank you for sharing! ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy them, Tracy. Happy to share the recipe. Marie x
DeleteMy absolute favourites! Hot potato farls (as we'd call them back home) with loads of melting butter - heavenly xox
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious and seem to be a hit at our house. Marie x
