A lot of food that I make during April involves wild garlic as it adds a lovely taste to food and saves me buying onions or garlic. We use these air fryer wild garlic scones for breakfast, for light meals and they are nice with main meals like a stew. They are an easy, cheap way to fill our selves up, especially after Easter when a lot of the supermarkets sell cheap potatoes.
Ingredients
1 lb cooked potato
1 oz butter
2 pinches of salt
4 oz self raising flour
About 10 wild garlic leaves roughly chopped small
Method
- Mash the potato with the butter and add a pinch of salt
- Add the flour and the salt and chopped wild garlic and fold into the mash potato
- Make into patties about a cm thick.
- Place on some greased proof paper in the air fryer or a silicone mat
- Cook for 10 minutes or until golden brown at 200C, turning half way through the cooking time.
The picture shows a breakfast we had with some left over spiced beans, but we serve these wild garlic potato scones with sausages and beans, with a fried egg on top, with bolognaise, or with spicy vegetables. You can serve them with anything that you would serve potato with. Some times I just put cream cheese on them and eat them as they are warm. I have not tried freezing them but I have batch cooked them and kept them in the fridge and then warmed them up in the air fryer on other days. They will be safe in the fridge for 3 or 4 days.
These look lovely . Thank you for sharing the recipe .
Thank you. They tasted great too.
These look great.
Thank you. That is kind of you to say. We love them as part of breakfast x
Hello 😊 made these tonight, added some grated cheese and had with beans and sausages, absolutely loved them, can’t believe recipe made 12! Lunch sorted tomorrow! When wild garlic season is over will have fun choosing alternatives. Thank you, so simple and so yummy 😋
Great idea. Thanks for letting me know and glad that you liked them. We are lucky we still have a few weeks of wild garlic season up here, but yes you can add spring onions, herbs including chives, and I add some wild garlic pesto to use it up sometimes.
Thank you for sharing Toni. The first potato cakes I had were on my first ever trip to Liverpool in 1984 with my boyfriend. Salt fish & potato cakes & a Liverpool Ehco were the things I bought back for a nurse that I worked with in 1987. Those potato cakes were nothing like your ones today. I’ve bought some white fish to makes fish cakes on Friday so if I batch cook the potatoes I could try to make some of then as well. The sausage bit sounds appealing to Roger. I must say he asks how you are doing now as I tell him about your day. Today he has cleaned out my greenhouse so I can fumigate it tomorrow. Happy days. ( big win in my book).
These look great! Your lateral thinking skills are so strong, you make so many brilliant suggestions for alternative ways of doing things!
I love it a lot x
These look and sound yummy 😋 definitely going to try making them.
they look very tasty – looking forward to trying the recipe! Thank you for sharing :-)
