Recipe Category: Potato
Keywords: Vegetable, Less than 30 Minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 cups of prepared, unseasoned hash brown potatoes
- 5 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by rinsing the prepared hash brown potatoes under cold water. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This step ensures that your patties crisp up beautifully during frying.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried hash brown potatoes, crumbled bacon, finely chopped onion, eggs, and flour. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated. The flour helps bind the ingredients together, making it easier to form your patties.
-
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat approximately 1/8 inch of cooking oil over medium-high heat. The oil should reach around 375°F (190°C) to achieve that perfect golden-brown crispiness. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping a small bit of batter into the pan—if it sizzles and starts to fry, the oil is ready.
-
Fry the Patties: Using a tablespoon, drop heaping spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil. Flatten each spoonful slightly to form patties. Fry the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to ensure the patties cook evenly without burning.
-
Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, savory goodness of your homemade potato, bacon, and onion patties.
