Ingredients

• 2 cups mashed potatoes

• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 4 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Sour cream (for serving)
• Chopped chives (for garnish)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and crumbled bacon. Mix well.
2. Add salt, black pepper, and all-purpose flour to the potato mixture. Mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the potato mixture. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
4. Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, spoon about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet for each pancake.
5. Flatten the pancake slightly with the back of a spoon and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture.
7. Serve the crispy mashed potato pancakes hot with sour cream and garnish with chopped chives. Enjoy!
