Mashed potato cakes have been a staple in my southern family all throughout my childhood. I came up with this recipe when trying to put a new spin on an old favorite.
Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 ¼ cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded American cheese
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- ¼ teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 dash hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in skillet; crumble bacon.
Step 2
Melt butter in bacon grease over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer vegetables and bacon to large bowl; stir in mashed potatoes, American cheese, flour, egg, mustard, black pepper, and hot sauce.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of mashed potato mixture, flattening slightly, and fry patties until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
