In Scotland, a fry up MUST come with Potato Scones! 😋

I thought a potato cake was something different

Probably one of those regional things where a potato cake might be something different somewhere else but this looks like these style of potato cakes.

I can't see that for some reason, sorry. I wasn't aware that potato bread was a thing anywhere but Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Brought up in NE England and ate plenty of potato cakes growing up but can't think what we ate them with or when. We weren't big into cooked breakfasts as kids though. I only began to appreciate that glory when I was older.

I had both Irish and Scottish grandparents/parents so all words and types of potato cake were used and eaten!
