Method
Step 1
Put potatoes in boiling salted water for 7-8 minutes. Drain, cool and peel. If in a healthy mood, you may want to leave the skins on, but thats purely optional. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes.
Step 2
Chop the chives and add to the potatoes.
Step 3
Add the butter, flour , baking powder and salt. If you are in a mood for cheese.. go on, add it! Adjust the salt accordingly.
Step 4
Make small flat balls and shallow fry on a hot pan in olive oil, till golden on both sides.
Step 5
When just about to serve, beat eggs, add the salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs on a hot pan in olive oil. DO NOT overcook.
Step 6
Plate the scones. Balance the scrambled eggs on top of the scones.
Step 7
And on that already shaky mountain top, fold the smoked salmon . If you are not yet satisfied, garnish with a sprig of parsley.
