Bacon and potato cakes are a delicious, hearty dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Here’s a simple yet foolproof recipe to achieve crispy outsides and fluffy interiors.
Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 200g bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Salt, pepper, and paprika to taste
- Oil or butter for frying
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes: Squeeze the grated potatoes firmly with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture—this ensures crispiness.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, crumbled bacon, onion, beaten egg, flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until evenly blended.
3. Shape the Cakes: Form the mixture into small, flat patties (about 1-2 cm thick).
4. Cook: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain and Serve: Remove excess oil on paper towels, then serve hot with sour cream, applesauce, or a fried egg.
Tips: For extra flavor, add shredded cheese or herbs like chives. Ensure oil is hot enough to prevent sticking and guarantee a crunchy crust. Enjoy this savory treat that’s sure to satisfy!
