Instant Pot: using up potatoes and onions

This worked well tonight when I needed to use up my onions and potatoes and didn't have time to bake or cook anything.  I didn't use carrots.  I plan on using this with eggs, cheese and sausage for Breakfast Tacos. Loving my Instant Pot!!

2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
5 T cold butter

2. In a bowl by hand or using an electric mixer, blend together the flour, sugar,
baking powder, salt, and butter.
3. Add the half and half, beaten egg, cranberries (I like the dried ones) and the
white chocolate chips, and stir until the dough holds together.

4. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 2 minutes.

5. Form into a 1/2 inch thick round, then cut the round into 8 wedges (you can
also make two smaller rounds if you would like).

6. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil, then transfer wedges to sheet.

7. Bake the scones at 400 degrees F for 14 minutes or until golden brown.
