How To Make betty's potato & bacon patties

  • 1
    Peel and chop potatoes into smallish even chunks. Boil until soft in a pot, remove the water and mash well.
  • 2
    While the potatoes are cooking, cut the bacon into small dice and fry well. Set aside on kitchen paper.
  • 3
    Cut the onions as fine as you can. Place the mashed potatoes, cooked bacon, cheese, onion, egg, bread crumbs and celery salt in a bowl. Use your hands to mix. Shape into 8-10 patties. Place on a plate and refrigerate for a minimum of an hour (can be made the day before)
