Perfect as a side dish, snack, or even a main course, these potato cakes are packed with cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions for a delicious bite of comfort. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
2 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup chopped cooked bacon
¼ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. Mash the Potatoes:
In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
2. Mix in the Good Stuff:
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, bacon, sour cream, salt, and pepper to the mashed potatoes.
Stir everything together until well combined.
3. Shape the Cakes:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and shape it into a small patty.
Repeat with the remaining mixture to make more cakes.
4. Coat the Cakes:
Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Coat each potato cake in flour, dip into the eggs, and then cover with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
5. Fry the Cakes:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the coated potato cakes in the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy.
6. Drain and Serve:
Remove the cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
These Stuffed Potato Cakes are a flavor-packed treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Crispy, cheesy, and loaded with bacon and green onions, they’re sure to be a hit!
