Loaded Mashed Potato Cakes

Prep Time: 20 mins

Cook Time: 20 mins

Total Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 1 24oz package Bob Evan’s Original Mashed Potatoes (about 2 ½ cups)
• 1 ½ cups shredded mild cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 strips bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• ½ cup all purpose flour
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 2 to 3 tablespoon vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Combine the mashed potatoes, both cheeses, crumbled bacon, flour, garlic powder, onions and egg in a large bowl and stir to combine. Chill the mixture, covered, for about 15 minutes, up to 24 hours.
2. Use an ice cream scoop with a trigger release handle to scoop potato mixture into small 2 inch rounds. Shape the rounds into 1/3 inch thick patties using your hands. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl and coat potato patties on both sides with breadcrumbs.
3. Lightly oil the bottom of a cast iron or non-stick pan with the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the potato patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown, and then place on a paper towel lined plate. Let cool slightly before enjoying. Dip in either sour cream or ranch dressing.
