Instructions :   

• Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 20 minutes, then drain. Return the potatoes to a clean pan and mash them. Preheat a griddle or heavy-based frying pan.

• Add the flour, the olive oil and the chives to the hot mashed potato in the pan, and season with a little salt and pepper. Mix to a soft dough.

• Roll out the prepared dough on a well-floured surface to a thickness of about 5mm/1/4in and stamp out rounds with a 5cm/2in plain pastry cutter. Lightly grease the griddle or heavy-based frying pan.

• Cook the scones, in batches, on the hot griddle or frying pan for about 10 minutes. Using a metal spatula, turn each scone once, cooking until they are golden brown on both sides. Keep the heat low and do not allow them to burn. Top the scones with a little low fat spread, if you like, and serve them immediately, while still piping hot.
