Pancakes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bacon

    Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from pan, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Place grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by the 1/4 cupful into the skillet, flattening slightly. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the loaded potato pancakes hot with a dollop of sour cream and extra chopped scallions on top.
