The Ultimate Potato Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cold mashed potatoes
• 5 slices bacon
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. In a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until it is evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
2. Remove the bacon slices from the skillet, crumble them, and set aside. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet.
3. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Shape the mixture into 8 patties.
5. Heat the bacon drippings over medium heat and pan-fry the patties until they are crisp on each side, approximately 4 minutes per side.

Enjoy your delicious, crispy potato pancakes!
