1/4 cup sour cream (60 ml)
1 egg
4 ounces bacon slices, crumbled and crisp (112 g)
2 chopped green onions

Instructions

In a large covered pot with enough water, boil potatoes until tender for about 20 minutes.
Drain potatoes well and transfer into a large bowl. Cool for a few minutes.
Mash potatoes thoroughly with a fork or potato masher.
Stir in all remaining ingredients (crumbled bacons, cheese, butter, sour cream, egg and green onions). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and then beat mixture thoroughly to completely combine.
Refrigerate until well chilled for a few hours (you can prepare this a day before) or keep the mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes for a quick chill.
Take out potato pancake mixture from refrigerator and shape into patties, using approximately 1/3 cup for each patty.
Spray a large non-stick skillet with non-stick spray and heat skillet over medium high heat.
Cook potato pancakes for 3 minutes or until bottom sides are golden brown. Make sure not to crowd the pan to make room for flipping the pancakes, so cook them in batches.
Keep an eye while cooking the pancakes until they look brown and dry around the edges, and then carefully flip into the other side. Cook for another 3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat procedure with the remaining pancakes.
Serve warm and enjoy!
