Bring a small pan of water to
the boil and simmer the potatoes for 12-15 mins until
tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Return the potatoes
to the pan and mash with the butter. Stir in the flour,
baking powder. III tsp salt and a good grinding of black
pepper.
-
Tip the potato mixture onto a
lightly floured work surface and press into a circle
roughly 15cm wide and about 1cm thick, then cut into four
wedges.
-
Heat a splash of oil and a
knob of butter in a non-stick skillet or frying pan over a
medium heat, and fry one of the scones for 3-4 mins on
each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining
scones.
-
Divide the scones and smoked
salmon or trout between two plates, then top with the
soured cream and chopped chives. Season and serve.
