How To Make betty's potato & bacon patties

Step 1

Peel and chop potatoes into smallish even chunks. Boil until soft in a pot, remove the water and mash well.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, cut the bacon into small dice and fry well. Set aside on kitchen paper.
Step 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)
Step 4

Heat the oil in a large fry pan, gently place the patties in the pan and fry each side for 3-4 minutes. Don't over crowd the pan, you might need to cook in batches.
