Potato And Bacon Cakes (4 servings) 5 slices bacon - cooked and crumbled 1 pound mashed potatoes (great use for left-overs) 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour salt and pepper - to taste butter or olive oil for frying In a mixing bowl, stir bacon, flour and salt and pepper into the mashed potatoes. Heat a griddle or large fry pan to medium-high with a generous coating of butter or oil. Form 4 or 5 small hamburger-size patties from the potato mixture and carefully place on griddle or fry pan. Fry the patties until golden brown on each side (about 5 minutes per side). A great breakfast side dish. I put this in the International section because it's a recipe from my mom - my Irish mom.
