1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Line a baking tray with baking paper.

2. Place flour, parmesan, salt and pepper together in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

3. Place mixture into a large mixing bowl and make a well in centre of mixture. Add 1/3 cup buttermilk, mashed potato, egg, mustard, chives and smoked salmon. Using a flat-bladed knife, cut through mixture until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until just smooth.

4. Shape into a disc 3cm thick and using a 5cm round cutter cut out scones. Reshape dough offcuts and repeat process.

5. Place scones on prepared baking tray and brush tops with extra buttermilk. Bake scones in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden.
