Fried potatoes are one of the all-time favorite comfort foods I have ever eaten. Fried potatoes are also excellent with bacon and green onions, so when I found this video recipe tutorial for fried mashed potato cakes with bacon and green onions by the great YouTuber, The Cook-N-Share, I really got excited.  My grandma used to make a fried potato dish that was very much like this but she called it German fried potatoes and we all loved it. We used to eat the German fried potato medley with her famous pork chops or sometimes just on their own with lots of spicy ketchup. This mashed and fried potato dish by Cook-N-Share has a very interesting twist though, in that the potatoes are mashed and the bacon and chives are added, then the mixture is mashed in a pan and chilled for 30 minutes. After the potatoes are chilled you cut them like biscuits, then dredge them in egg and breadcrumbs and deep fry, yum!

Ingredients:

• Mashed potatoes (1 to 2 pounds)
• Cooke and crumbled bacon
• Chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup of flour
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• Oil for frying
• 1 cup of bread crumbs (Panko are good)

Directions:

In this video recipe tutorial for fried mashed potato cakes with bacon and green onions by the great YouTuber, The Cook-N-Share, you will learn how to make these mashed potato cakes in a step by step method.

Then, dredge the cake in flour, egg, and bread crumbs, then deep fry.
