Tattie Drottle

Description

This hearty Scottish soup is made with potatoes that are boiled in milk with leeks or onions. Tattie drottle was known as a staple in the traditional Scottish diet, particularly in rural areas. Cream, oatmeal, and simple vegetables are sometimes added for extra flavor and body, while the creamy potato soup itself pairs well with fresh, salted, and smoked fish. Although tattie drottle is a simple and humble creation, this warming wintertime dish is even served at the finest Burns Night suppers.
