Today in Bacon: [Potato Pancakes with Cheese & Bacon]

Potato Pancakes with Cheese and Bacon - great use for those leftover mashed potatoes on friday morning!

Ingredients:
8 oz freshly cooked, mashed potatoes
2 tbsp milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp self-rising flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 slices Irish Cheddar cheese
8 slices streaky bacon
Place the mashed potatoes into a bowl and add the milk, eggs and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Beat until you have a thick but pourable batter, adding more milk if needed. Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Pour in a ladleful of the batter mix and cook until browned underneath. Flip over and cook on the other side. Transfer to a warmed platter and reserve, keeping the pancakes warm.
At the same time cook the bacon in a non-stick pan until crispy. Drain on paper towel.

Top the potato pancakes with slices of cheese and place under hot broiler to melt. Serve with crisp bacon on top. Serves 4.
