These Bacon Cheddar Patty Cakes with leftover mashed potatoes are absolutely delicious and incredibly easy to make. Trust me, once you try them, you’ll be hooked!
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of bacon
- 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions:
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until it’s crispy and evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon slices, crumble them, and set them aside. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- In a bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded Cheddar cheese. The combination of these flavors is absolutely divine!
- Next, it’s time to form the mixture into patties. I usually make about 8 patties, but feel free to adjust the size to your liking.
- Heat up the bacon drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Once the drippings are hot, place the potato patties in the skillet and pan-fry them until they’re crisp on each side. This takes about 4 minutes per side.
Voila! Your Bacon Cheddar Patty Cakes are ready to be enjoyed. They’re the perfect way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes and turn them into a super-speedy meal.
