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:

1. 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.
2. 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!
3. 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.
4. 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.
