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.
