Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 pound/500 grams potatoes (cooked and mashed; can use leftover mashed potatoes)
1 ounce/30 grams butter (melted plus a little extra for greasing)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium egg
4 ounces/115 grams all-purpose flour (plus a little extra for rolling out)
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

Gather the ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 400 F/205 C/Gas 6. Place the mashed potato in a large baking bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix the ingredients together to create a light, but sticky dough.
Heavily flour your work surface of the board, if you don't use enough flour the dough will stick to the board.
Roll out the dough to approximately ½ inch/1 centimeter thickness.
Cut the dough into saucer-sized rounds. Score each round with a cross to mark 4 equal wedges. You can also make individual cakes by cutting with a round biscuit or scone cutter, the size you wish them to be.
Grease a baking sheet with lots of butter. Carefully lay the rounds onto the sheet (they will be quite soft so you will need to handle carefully; a spatula helps).
Bake the rounds in the center of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and risen. Once cooked lay onto a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly. These delicious rounds need to be eaten while they are freshly cooked and warm.
