Peel potatoes and chop them into small pieces.

Add potatoes to a pan of boiling water with a pinch of salt.

Boil until completely softened.

Mash the potatoes with butter until smooth.

Transfer mashed potatoes to a large mixing bowl and add flour on top.

Add milk gradually until a nice dough forms, adjusting based on potato type.

Flour the chopping board and turn the dough onto it, kneading gently without over-kneading.

Roll the dough to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

Cut the dough into quarters and make little holes on top using a knife or fork.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Place the quarters of potato scones into the skillet.

Cook for 5 minutes on each side until browned, flipping carefully.

Keep an eye on the scones to prevent burning, adjusting heat if necessary.

Serve warm, optionally keeping them in a low heated oven to stay warm.
