How To Make bacon cheddar mashed potato cakes
Test Kitchen Tips
Make sure the mashed potatoes are cold. Ours may have been a little warm because our mixture was slightly sticky. So, we formed our cakes in the frying pan.
-
Step 1Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. -
Step 2Remove the bacon slices, crumble, and set aside. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet.
-
Step 3Mix the mashed potatoes, eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Stir in the crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese.
-
Step 4Form the mixture into 8 patties. Heat the bacon drippings over medium heat. Pan-fry the patties in the drippings until crisp, about 4 minutes per side.
