1 cup warm mashed potatoes
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour

Preheat a 12-inch seasoned cast-iron frying pan or griddle over moderate heat.

Mix together all ingredients until thoroughly blended. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and divide into thirds. Roll into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Score each circle into 6 wedges.
Sprinkle the griddle with flour and bake each circle for about 5 minutes, until edges begin to brown, turning once to cook both sides.
Serve hot or cold.

Yield: 18 scones
