Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Begin by spreading the rock salt onto a baking tray. With a sharp knife, prick the potatoes and place them on the salt.
- Bake for an hour and half, making sure you keep the skins on. Once cooked, cut in half, remove the flesh from the skins and mash.
- Once mashed, add the oil, salt, pepper, cheddar and chopped rosemary. Now mix in the flour to the potato, just enough to take away the stickiness.
- Roll the potato out on a floured surface to roughly 5mm thick and cut out triangles. Heat oil in a non stick frying pan, place the scones on the heat and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
- Serve with smoked salmon, scrambled egg and slices of cheddar.
