Cooking tip: These potato cakes are naturally soft. When frying, be sure to leave enough room between them to be able to flip carefully without breaking.

Ingredients To Gather

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 small red onion, finely diced

• 3 cloves minced garlic

• 4 cups cold mashed potatoes

• 1 beaten egg

• 4 rounded tablespoons flour

• ¼ cup chopped green onion

• 2 tbsp chopped parsley

• ½ tsp black pepper

• 6 slices crisp cooked, thick cut smoked bacon, chopped

• 1 cup diced cheddar cheese about a ½ inch dice or smaller

Step By Step Directions To Follow 

1. In a small pan heat olive oil and add the red onion and garlic and sauté until the onions are softened but not browned.

2. Turn off the flame. Add all of the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Add flour if the mixture is too wet.

3. Form into 12 balls, roll in flour and flatten into potato cakes about an inch thick. If sticking when rolling wet your hands to help.

4. Heat a quarter inch of canola oil in a saute pan. Fry for a few minutes on either side until golden brown, drain on paper towels before serving.
