Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices bacon diced
  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 green onions diced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated romano cheese
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Transfer to paper towel lined plate. Reserve pan drippings but remove from heat so that it doesn't burn while you prepare the pancakes.
  • Combine bacon, mashed potatoes, eggs, green onions and romano cheese. Mix well. Form into 4 - 6 hamburger sized patties.
  • Combine panko, garlic powder and kosher salt on a plate. Press potato pancakes into the panko mixture.
  • Return the bacon drippings to medium heat. Once hot, place pancakes into drippings. Cook until browned on both sides and warmed through. About 3 minutes each side. Serve.

Notes

Enjoy!
