Photo: Smashed Potato Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 cups Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs, divided
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
In a large Dutch oven, add the potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; then reduce heat, and simmer until tender about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well and add to a large bowl.
Mash the potatoes with the garlic and salt and pepper. Fold in 2 1/2 cups of the panko, the egg, cheese, bacon, onion, butter, and the sour cream. Form the potato mixture into 3-inch patties. Put the remaining 1 cup of panko in a shallow dish and dredge the potato patties in the crumbs.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the potato patties, and cook until brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately.

We have been making these for years. Use two eggs to help hold them together. My wife will add some pancake mix to the batter also. We enjoy these for breakfast instead of hashbrowns.
