Potato scones (farls in Ireland, cakes in other places). These are a good way to use up leftover mashed potato. We love them fried after the bacon in a fry up, very very hot oil and deep golden brown on both sides. Some supermarkets sell them, Asda have their own brand, Sainsbury's sell Rankin potato farls; they are usually in baked goods or breakfast goods. Hash browns are nothing on these babies!

What food can you pass on?

Tatty scones in Scotland - vile things IMO lol

Any stale bread leads to a bread and butter pudding.....many permutations exist but it's buttered bread (both sides), dried fruits of any kind, an egg beaten in milk, sugar if you want it and into the oven for a long slow cook. Leave the crusts on the bread for extra crunchiness.

Tatws Pum Munud (Five Mintute Potatoes). Round slices of potatoes, layered in a frying pan with fried smoked bacon and onions and lots of salt and pepper, covered with water and cooked on the stove top. Eat with chunks of bread. Very rustic - very tasty.

I've seen variations in some magazines using carrots and peas and I've even seen it using mince! Above is the traditional Welsh recipe.

I tried for years to make them just using mashed potato, but they never worked properly. Then I found this method - weigh the mashed potato and use 1/5 weight in self raising flour. So - if you have 5 oz potatoes, use 1 oz flour etc. Add a tiny bit of baking powder (makes them puff up a bit more). Grease a frying pan in the same way you would a cake tin, and roll out the potato on a floured board. Cut into whatever shape you like, then cook the potato cakes till golden on both sides. These come out like potato cakes you can buy in the supermarket.
