Loaded Potato Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes and the cheese (this can be done in a food processor).
• Mix the potatoes and cheese with the cream and eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Using the walnut oil, grease a shallow baking dish large enough to spread the potato mixture about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Chop the butter in small pieces and sprinkle on top.
• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until browned and bubbling.

Steps:

• Fry the bacon until crispy and drain on a paper towel until cool. Crumble into small bits. Place the bits into a large bowl.
• Pour off all but 2 Tablespoons of bacon grease from the frying pan and over medium heat cook the garlic and onion until translucent.
• Add the bacon bits along with remaining ingredients (except butter/margarine) and blend well with a spoon or your hands (it'll be sticky).
• Wash and dry the frying pan, then melt 1 Tablespoon of butter or margarine in it over medium heat.
• Scoop up about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and form into a ball. Place it in the hot pan, flattening it out until it's about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
• Fry for about 3 minutes on each side, until they are lightly golden brown. Serve immediately, while hot and crispy. Top with green onions, sour cream or ketchup as desired.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon, stirring, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 to 0 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Reserve the pan; don't clean it out.
• In a large bowl, mix the hash browns, seasoning salt and black pepper. Return the skillet to medium heat. Carefully add four 1/2 cup scoops to the skillet. Press the potato mounds down with a spatula and let cook until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and the shredded Cheddar.
• Transfer the potato pancakes to a platter or small cutting board. Add a dollop of the sour cream to the center of each. Top with the green onions and reserved bacon.

Steps:

• Mix mashed potatoes, flour, onion, egg, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl until batter consistency.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop 4-inch circles of batter into hot oil. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter.
