Best Potato Pancakes Ever – It’s A Keeper!

Prepare the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon, crumble it, and set it aside.

Mix the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold mashed potatoes, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the well-beaten eggs, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix everything together until fully combined.

Form the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Scoop about ¼ cup of the potato mixture into the pan and flatten it gently with a spatula to form a pancake. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve: Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce!
