Ingredients

1 lb potato
1 cup flour, sifted
2 tablespoons olive oil

Cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly. Return the potatoes to the clean pan and mash them.
Preheat a frying pan over low heat.
Tip the hot mashed potatoes into a bowl. Add the flour, olive oil and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend to make a soft dough.
Roll out the dough on a well floured surface to 1/4 inch thick.
Cut into 2-inch circles, re-rolling and cutting the trimmings.
Cook the scones, in batches, on the frying pan for about 10 minutes until they are golden brown.
