I'm not a huge fan of potato scones, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The scones were light and fluffy, and the flavor was mild.

I love that these scones can be made ahead of time. I often make a batch on the weekend and then reheat them during the week for breakfast or lunch.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I always have a batch in my freezer, so I can make these scones anytime.

The scones didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the scones to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

The scones were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

These scones are so versatile. I've served them with eggs, bacon, and sausage. I've also used them as a side dish for grilled chicken and fish.

I added some chopped chives to the batter for extra flavor. It was a great addition!

I used russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold, and they worked just fine. The scones were still light and fluffy.

These potato scones were a hit at my breakfast table! The flavor was spot-on, and they were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
