  Nobody in our family of four liked these - we thought they were tasteless. As for the thickness factor - given the texture of the batter it isn't really possible to smooth it down so mine ended up really thick too. Served with bacon and fried mushrooms, but would have done better to make some nice bread instead.

  Love these scones. Also nice with spring onions added. Have not had a problem with the thickness - I cook them on one side, flip them and then flatten the cooked side with a spatula to the desired size and thickness. Be careful to cook them on a fairly low heat to make sure the batter cooks through.

  Should be called Potato Cakes. Check any good Scottish recipe book for the real Potato Scones.

  the Potato "scones" went down a treat, especially with a hint of salt on top- once it's been fried. Wasn't sure about the thickness of the cakes, so the first batch was abit of trial and error- the size and thickness of a scottish pancake worked for me. Overall it was very easy to make and I'd probably make them again :)
