I've been trying to read into this to see if potato scones exist in the south under a different name, but I'm not entirely sure they do. They're not a waffle and they're not hash browns either. When you start looking into this you come up with all kinds of nonsense:

If you search Tescopolis for potato scones you get zero results, but it offers these instead:

Sainsburgeries says you want these:

www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/warburtons-round-potato-cakes-x6

AHA!

Asdaland says Warburtons make POTATO SCONES:

This is what you want:

It is acceptable to have four form a circle but is NOT acceptable for an individual scone to be round.

You want four of these fried in butter in a frying pan. THE FINEST HOT BREAKFAST ITEM.

Alternatively, two fried and put in a roll or two and a fried egg in a roll are also good serving suggestions.
