Bacon potato pancakes Potatoes are something I can eat any time of day and almost any way. I developed Bacon potato pancakes recipe several years ago to go with pigs in a blanket. Our three children are grown, and John and I have five grandchildren. From Linda Hall of Hazel Green Wisconsin.

Ingredients

5 to 6 medium uncooked red potatoes, peeled

and shredded (about 3 cups)

5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste

Dash ground nutmeg

Vegetable oil for deep-fat frying

Method 

Rinse and thoroughly drain potatoes. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, bacon, onion, eggs, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

In an electric skillet, heat 1/8 in. of oil to 375°. Drop batter by 2 heaping tablespoonfuls into hot oil. Flatten to form patties.

Fry until golden brown; turn and cook the other side. Drain on paper towels. Yield: 2 dozen.
