Cheese, Ham & Potato Scone

Updated: 8th April 2024 · Published: 23rd January 2013 

JUMP TO RECIPE

Cheese, Ham & Potato Scone is a great way to use up some leftover boiled or mashed potatoes & ham. A great accompaniment to a bowl of soup!

In celebration of National Potato Day (26 January), I took the opportunity to try out the new Oxo Adjustable Potato Ricer in this Cheese, Ham & Potato Scone.

The ricer has a dial that turns and clicks into 3 different patterns allowing you to mash on a fine, medium, or course setting.

Of course, you can mash more than just potato in it and it’s perfect for making baby food too.

The medium setting is also good for squeezing water out of your greens so I know where my cooked spinach is going now! 

A handy notch on the ricer allows you to rest it over a bowl while you plunge the lever. What’s more, you can put it on the top rack of your dishwasher to clean it.

I’ve often seen potato ricers being used on TV and have been rather envious as I’ve never used one let alone owned one. This one was cool as you have the option of choosing how fine you want your mash. My potatoes were cold, firm, and waxy so I did need all my strength to squeeze the ricer, I’m sure with floury warm potatoes it would have been a lot easier! (Update I have now riced floury potatoes and it took one hand and no effort at all they just glided through!)

I wish I’d had one of these when I was making baby food for my children!  I am going to enjoy experimenting with my ricer over the coming weeks as I think it could be used in so many ways.

I have just put boiled eggs through the effortless course setting and it’s made the most lovely fluffy egg mayonnaise sandwiches for our lunch, as I thought it would! Next on my hit list are chickpeas for hummus making!

I decided to make a Cheese, Ham & Potato Scone with mature Cheddar, home-cooked ham, and wholegrain mustard!

It was very tasty and delicious split and buttered whilst still warm but can also be eaten cold. This scone would be great as a snack, for lunch or great with a bowl of soup! We also enjoyed it toasted the next day.

So in honour of National Potato Day, I’m giving you the chance to win an Oxo Adjustable Potato Ricer as well as a top quality Mermaid Hard Anodised Aluminium Baking Sheet (30cm/12”) so that you too can bake this delicious scone to perfection!

For your chance to win simply fill in the Rafflecopter at the bottom of this post.

As this recipe is totally made from scratch I am entering it into Javelin Warrior’s Cookin w/Luv “Made with Love Mondays” challenge.
I am also entering my scone into the Breakfast Club which is run by Helen at Fuss Free Flavours and currently being hosted by Janice at Farmers Girl Kitchen this month!

 
I am also entering my scone into Kate at Turquoise Lemons “No Waste Food Challenge” where the theme is left over mash (just make sure there is no butter or milk in it)  which is being hosted by Elizabeth at Elizabeth’s Kitchen this month.

How to make Cheese Ham & Potato Scone

 
So first rice the potatoes.

Then sieve the dry ingredients and rub in butter. Next mix potato, mustard and milk together.
 
 
Then stir in the grated cheese and ham to potato mixture.
 
 
Then combine with flour mixture adding enough milk to make a dough.
 
 
Knead dough for a few seconds.

    With the cold weather still bearing down on us the first meal I’d make using a potato ricer would be a traditional Shepherds Pie with a Creamed Potato topping which the ricer would make easy to do.

    I’d also love to try using it to make some homemade hash browns as I am sure they would be much tastier and healthier than shop bought ones.

    Thanks for your product review and recipe, the tip on it being easier with floury potato’s was appreciated.

    carrot and swede mash – my husband prefers it completely pureed but I like it with chunks in so we always argue about who is gonig to do the mashing! This would be a great compromise as I’m sure there is a coarseness setting for each of us on the ricer. The baking sheet would definitely help baking biscuits – and I’m definitely going to try the scone recipe (albeit without the aid of a ricer)

    It’d be a great gadget to help make really light fish or crab cakes I think:)

    I’d probably just try a simple mashed potato first..

    I was given the Loveless cafe cookbook for Christmas and it has a recipe for mashed potato cake (as in a sweet, teatime cake) So I’d like to make that

    rostis would be an obvious first thing. I may use the ricer for fruit purees and hubby would use it for super smooth mash. The bakeware looks awesome.
    I absolutely love the OXO stuff, we have some of the oxo tots range.

    Your scone looks and sounds lovely 🙂 I can’t see a Rafflecopter thingy though, and I’ve refreshed 3 times.
