This is a traditional Scottish recipe but the love people have for this tasty potato snack isn’t limited to just Scotland. Appreciation for ‘tattie’ scones has spread across the globe… and our recipe proves it.
We think one of the reasons people love them so much is because of their simplicity – pantry staple ingredients and an easy to follow recipe.
What are tattie scones?
Aye, while a tattie scone (also known as a potato cake in some parts of the UK) would be a familiar savoury delight in Scotland, you’d be forgiven for being a little confused. Despite their similar name, they don’t have much in common with an Aussie potato cake, or potato scallop – they have more of a doughy texture.
Pssst… don’t tell the takeaway shops, but we think these are much tastier!
Traditional tattie scones look like thin pancakes and are served hot. Brits love adding them to an ultimate big breakfast. Just imagine piling slices of bacon, eggs, roast tomatoes, sausages and mushrooms on top. Delicious! (Or as the Scots would say – “braw!”)
What makes this version so great?
If you’re thinking, “but I could just buy a hashbrown to go with breakfast”, you would be missing out on a rich depth of flavour that knocks any plain tattie scone or hashbrown out of the park. We got it by adding grated double Gloucester cheese with onion and chives. It truly takes a humble potato to flavour heights we didn’t even know it could reach!
So where’s the recipe?
Okay, okay… we’d be eager to try out these traditional tattie scones ASAP as well. Not only are they a delicious breakfast food, but you can have them at any time of day.
