- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water until soft, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the butter until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, flour, salt, baking powder, and poppy seeds. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Add 2 tablespoons of milk to bring the dough together if needed. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Step 6
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thickness.
Step 7
Cut the dough into rounds using a biscuit cutter or into triangles with a sharp knife.
Step 8
Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 9
Cook the scones in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
