Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 6 slices Bacon
• 1 small Yellow onion
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble once cool.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the finely diced onion in the bacon drippings until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly for easier handling.

Step 5

Add the crumbled bacon, sautéed onions, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Mix until fully combined.

Step 6

Form the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 12 patties.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
