Soak 1/2 cup dried fruit in small pieces (raisins, dates, figs, etc.) in hot tap water for 10 minutes. In a large bowl combine spelt flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix dry ingredients, then cut in butter until the flour is in small crumbs. Add mashed potatoes and the drained fruit. In a small bowl, whisk together one egg with the milk. Set a spoonful of the milk/egg mixture aside. Stir the rest into the flour mixture just until moistened. Knead briefly to form a ball. Place on a baking sheet and flatten into a 7" circle. With a floured knife cut into 6-8 wedges, but don't separate. Brush top with reserved milk/egg mixture and sprinkle with sliced almonds and a shake of sugar if desired. Bake at 400 for 22 to 24 minutes. Serve immediately with butter or jam.
