BACON & CHEDDAR POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. * NOTE: Use real, homemade https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/mashed-potatoes-2.html?p=2 that have been refrigerated (the consistency should be firm.) This recipe will not work with instant mashed potatoes. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
• 2. Gather and prep ingredients.
• 3. To a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-low heat, add butter.
• 4. In a medium size bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, bacon bits and cheese.
• 5. Divide into 4 equal portions. (If doubling or tripling recipe, work in batches. Do not overcrowd pan. Four pancakes per pan is ideal.)
• 6. Increase heat to medium/medium-high; one by one, form each portion into a ball, then flatten (as if making hamburger patties) and place in skillet with melted butter.
• 7. Fry the first side for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown; carefully turn pancakes over and fry for additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown on each side. (Do not attempt to turn the pancakes for a second time. They are fragile and you will probably end up with a mess.)

CHEESY POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Slice the cheese into thin 1-inch (2.5cm) squares. Set aside.
• Thinly slice the scallions.
• Grate the potatoes preferably on a box grater. (If using a food processor, make sure to pulse the shredded potatoes with the blade attachment to cut the long strands.)
• Soak the grated potatoes in a cold water for about 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out as much water as you can.
• In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sliced scallions, garlic, eggs, flour, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Add about 1/4-inch oil into a frying pan and heat over medium high heat.
• Drop about 1 heaping tablespoon of potato mixture into the oil (I use this medium cookie scoop for this step), flatten the mixture and place a slice of cheese in the middle. Cover the cheese with a little bit of potato mixture (about ½ tablespoon of mixture).
• Cook about 3-4 pancakes at a time, and don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pancakes about 3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are cooked through and golden brown. Remove the pancakes on paper towel to drain.
• Serve warm with sour cream. (Also smoked salmon makes a great addition to these pancakes.)
