Bacon Spam And Potato Pancakes Recipes

BACON POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; let cool and crumble. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet.
• Combine crumbled bacon, potatoes, flour, eggs, garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
• Pour vegetable oil about 1/4-inch deep into skillet with bacon drippings and place over medium heat; heat until the oil and bacon drippings shimmer.
• Gently drop potato mixture by heaping tablespoon into hot oil and flatten potatoes into small patties about 3 inches in diameter. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

BACON AND SAGE POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Special Equipment: Food Processor
• In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard bacon fat in the pan. In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push potato, onion and garlic through the grater. Remove mixture to a towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Place potato mixture in a large bowl and mix in sage, eggs, flour, cooked bacon and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the skillet with 1/4-inch of vegetable oil and heat until it ripples. Once the oil is preheated, form potato cakes, measuring roughly 3 inches in diameter, and add to the pan. Continue forming patties, working in batches. Cook pancakes until crispy and nicely browned, pressing down on the pancakes periodically to flatten, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a preheated 275 degree F oven while remaining pancakes cook.

BACON AND CHIVE POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Peel the potato, grate it coarse, and press it between several thicknesses of paper towel to remove any excess moisture. In a bowl stir together the potato, the bacon, the chives, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, form the potato mixture into 4 patties, and cook the patties, tamping them down with a spatula, for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. Serve the pancakes with the sour cream.

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.

BACON AND SAGE POTATO PANCAKES

• In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Once cooked remove to a paper towel lined plate. Discard bacon fat and fill the skillet 1/4 inch of vegetable oil and preheat. Meanwhile, place potatoes, garlic, sage, eggs, flour, salt, pepper and bacon in large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. Once the oil is preheated, working in batches, measure out 1/2 cup potatoes and carefully place into the oil one at a time. Using a spatula, press down on the potatoes until they flatten to about 3 inches in diameter. Cook pancakes until crispy and nicely browned. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. You can place them on a cookie sheet and keep them warm in a preheated 275 degree oven while remaining pancakes cook.
