“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. ” – 1 Corinthians 10:31

Yukon gold potatoes mashed and folded with cheddar, crispy bacon, green onion, and sour cream, then coated in panko and pan-fried until golden. The leftover potato dream come true.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
  • 3½ cups panko breadcrumbs, divided
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup cooked crumbled bacon
  • ½ cup chopped green onion
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until fork tender.

Drain well. In a large bowl, combine cooked potatoes, 2½ cups panko, egg, cheese, bacon, green onion, butter, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Gently mash and mix until combined. Form mixture into 3-inch patties and dredge each in remaining panko.

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
