BEST POTATO PANCAKES EVER – It’s A Keeper

Hey food lovers!  I have a mouth-watering recipe that’s sure to make your taste buds tingle. It’s a delicious twist on a beloved classic – we’re talking about divine mashed potato patties with bacon and cheddar cheese. Here’s how to whip up this magnificent dish!

  Ingredients

– 4 cups of chilled mashed potatoes
– 5 slices of bacon
– 1/2 teaspoon of aromatic onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
– 2 eggs, whisked to perfection
– 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese

**Here’s the magic part, the preparation!

1. Start by placing the bacon in a large skillet, cook it over medium-high heat. Flip it occasionally until it is evenly browned and crisp. This should take about 10 minutes.

2. Once your bacon is perfectly crispy, remove it from the skillet and crumble it into pieces. Set them aside, but hold on to the bacon drippings in the skillet, we’ll need them later.

3. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, whisked eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir it up until it’s well mixed.

4. Now, stir in the crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese to the potato mixture. The combination of bacon and cheese will give this dish an irresistible taste.

5. Next, shape the mixture into 8 equally sized patties.

6. Reheat the bacon drippings over medium heat. Pan-fry the patties in the bacon fat until they’re crisp on each side. This should take about 4 minutes per side.

And voilà! You’ve just created a mouth-watering dish that’s sure to impress. Enjoy these delicious patties as a side dish, or make them the star of your meal. Bon Appétit!
