BACON & CHEDDAR POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:
- 1. * NOTE: Use real, homemade https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/mashed-potatoes-2.html?p=2 that have been refrigerated (the consistency should be firm.) This recipe will not work with instant mashed potatoes. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
- 2. Gather and prep ingredients.
- 3. To a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-low heat, add butter.
- 4. In a medium size bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, bacon bits and cheese.
- 5. Divide into 4 equal portions. (If doubling or tripling recipe, work in batches. Do not overcrowd pan. Four pancakes per pan is ideal.)
- 6. Increase heat to medium/medium-high; one by one, form each portion into a ball, then flatten (as if making hamburger patties) and place in skillet with melted butter.
- 7. Fry the first side for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown; carefully turn pancakes over and fry for additional 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown on each side. (Do not attempt to turn the pancakes for a second time. They are fragile and you will probably end up with a mess.)
- 8. Carefully remove to serving plate. Serve as soon as possible or keep warm until served.
