I always seem to have leftover mashed potatoes in my fridge. This is a great recipe to use them up.

Ingredients

3 slices bacon
4 cups cold leftover mashed potatoes
2 eggs
1 teaspoon onion powder
0.5 teaspoons salt
0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

1

Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon slices, crumble, and set aside. Leave the bacon drippings in the skillet.
2

Mix the mashed potatoes, eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; stir in the crumbled bacon and Cheddar cheese.
3

Form the mixture into 8 patties. Heat the bacon drippings over medium heat, and pan-fry the patties in the drippings until crisp on each side, about 4 minutes per side.
