How to make Cheesy Bacon Potato Pancakes that is an absolute sensation for breakfast...
This is a completely new experience for me. My food is normally delish, but never thought about posting about it LOL...Please excuse my errors in this post and I will appreciate any constructive criticism..
You will need the following
- Mashed Potato (I used 1.5KG or 3.3Pounds of Potatoes, but you can use Powder Mash a.k.a Smash)
- Bacon Bits or Bacon cut into Bits
- 3 x Large Eggs
- 1/2 Cup or 60 Grams Flour
- 2 Cups or 500ML Milk
- Cheese according to your taste, I used Edam since it's got a bit of a nutty aftertaste...
- Oil to fry the pancakes in
- Herbs / Seasoning to Taste
So everyone pretty much know how to make mashed potato, so I left that step out.
STEP1 - Pancake Batter
Add Eggs, Flour & Milk to Mashed Potato. You will know when it's 100% when it reaches a normal pancake consistency, not too runny and not too stiff
Potato Pancake Batter
STEP2 - Fry Potato Pancakes
Heat up frying pan and coat base of frying pan with oil
Add a spoon full of Potato Batter to pan
Frying up some Potato Pancake Awesomeness
STEP3 - Crispy Bacon Time!!
You can make bacon many different ways, I found the quickest and easiest way would be to add the bacon bits on to a kitchen towel and then microwave on high for 10 minutes...check frequently to make sure it doesn't burn though and you are achieving the desired crispyness ;)

STEP4 - Stack them and enjoy ;)
So the rest is quite self explanatory...you fry up the potato pancakes and then stack them as illustrated below

Mmmmmm get in my tummy.
hahaha...it's awesome yes...it's quick an easy for a snack if you want to use powder mash (smash) instead of real potato..tastes more a less the same, but takes less effort ;) lol
