Potato and Cheese Scones image

The excellent cheese flavor of these biscuit-like scones goes so well with soups and chilies. It's also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. Best served warm.

These scones were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of scones, but these were pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and the cheese flavor was just right.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still tasty. I think I would add a little more milk or butter next time.

These potato and cheese scones were a hit with my family! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly golden brown and cheesy. I will definitely be making these again.
