Don't know if this is too simple to call a recipe, but it's a lovely way to have potatoes and goes great with fresh simple food like grilled mackerel.
Boil up some new potatoes in a pot as you would normally till they're ready to eat (20 mins).
Drain the potatoes and pop in a bowl.
Melt some butter in the pan, add a handful of oatmeal and some chopped up cyboes/spring onion/or whatever you call a wee onion with a long green sprout.
Sautee for a minute or two. Put the potatoes in the pot with the mix, swirl around till they're coated and serve your "Mealy Potatoes".

Mealy Potatoes
My mother always made them with cooked new potatoes, knob of butter then add chopped spring onion and oats. Give it a good shake in the pan to coat them thoroughly. Serve with salad or at buffets. The best.

for what he called "mealy potatoes". It was similar to the recipe shown except he garnished them with fresh cut parsley. Excellent!

I love this simple recipe. I often eat new tatties in a bowl with butter and milk, so simple it should be an offence.

I love New Potatoes and occasionally do the same thing to them, but I usually use parsley. Next time I'm going to try spring onions and oatmeal - sounds great.

Sometimes we just serve the common spud with a little butter - but the Scots like to add just a touch and colour (color) but keep the character of spud intact. Well done Susan
