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

Directions:
- 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.
- Remove the bacon slices from the skillet, crumble them, and set aside. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Shape the mixture into 8 patties.
- Heat the bacon drippings over medium heat and pan-fry the patties until they are crisp on each side, approximately 4 minutes per side.
