Perfect Potato Pancakes

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS	AMOUNT
Frozen potatoes (hash browns)	4 cups
Bacon	5 slices
Onion powder	1/2 teaspoon
Salt	1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper	1/2 teaspoon
Eggs, well beaten	2
Grated cheese (e.g., Cheddar)	1/2 teaspoon

How To Make Perfect Potato Pancakes:

Step 1: Cook Bacon: Cook the 5 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and tender, about 10 minutes. Remember to turn the pieces occasionally for even cooking.

Step 2: Reserve Drippings and Crumble Bacon: When the bacon is cooked, remove it from the pan and break it into small pieces. Set the bacon aside, but retain the bacon drippings in the pan.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the 4 cups hash browns, 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon and 1/2 tsp grated cheese until well combined.

Step 4: Form and Fry Pancakes: Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts, forming them into pancakes. Heat the retained bacon drippings in the pan over medium heat. Fry the potato pancakes (referred to as potato skins/sweet potato baskets in the original text) on both sides until lightly browned and golden, usually about 4 minutes per side.

Step 5: Serve: After cooking, serve the potato pancakes immediately and enjoy!
