Take 4 oz of mashed potato that is cold, preferably leftover from a previous meal.

Add 1.5 oz of plain flour and 0.5 oz of butter to the mashed potato.

Mix the ingredients together with your hands until they start to stick together but not to your hands.

Add a good pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper to the mixture and work that in.

Pop the mixture away in the fridge for 20 minutes to let it rest.

After 20 minutes, take the mixture out of the fridge; it should have hardened a bit.

Roll out the mixture on a floured surface until it's about 1 to 2 mm thick.

Cut the rolled-out mixture into desired shapes (scones).

Heat a pan with olive oil until it's smoking, then drop the scones in.

Sprinkle a bit more salt on the scones while they cook.
