Make sure the patties are squashed down in pan enough...if they are too thick, it makes for a strange texture. Used cheddar cheese. Great way to use leftovers in a different way.

Really good recipe. I've made it twice now using frozen hash browns instead of mashed potatoes. I used dehydrated garlic and onions, as that's all we had on hand. I used cheddar cheese, and the second time, I added blue cheese, too. Used bacon bits cause we don't have any fresh bacon, but I bet it's a lot better with the real stuff. I heated up some vegetable oil with a bit of butter. I used a lot more potatoes than 1 1/2 cups, and 1/3 cup of flour as others suggested. It was delicious! I'd give 5 stars, but I really only used this as a guideline, so..

We liked this recipe and gave it four stars. I have been making potato cakes for years but had never thought of adding celery, bacon and cheese. I used about 2 cups of potatoes and 1/3 cup of flour. I did not cook the celery or onion. Instead, I chopped them in the food processor along with the cooked bacon. The raw vegetables added a nice crunchiness and texture to the potato cakes. I used garlic salt. These fried up golden and crisp in my cast iron skillet. Thanks Teach09 for sharing your recipe.

I made a lot of modifications to this recipe. For starters, I used closer to 3 cups of mashed potatoes and only 1/3 cup of flour. I honestly omitted or changed the amounts of most of the ingredients and used my own. I didn't have any yellow onion left, so I used 1/2 cup of red onion but I still maintained the 1 stalk of celery and the egg. I then added about a tbs of fresh chive and upped it to 4 pieces of bacon. I put in about 1/4 cup of sour cream, 1 tsp of freshly minced garlic, garlic powder, sea salt, ground pepper, onion powder, and original Mrs. Dash. I sauteed the onion, celery and garlic together in the bacon grease (I drained some of it out) and added 2 tbs of butter to it. I added a little more butter and cooked the potato mixture in the bacon greases and butter. They came out pretty good. I was my first stab at potato pancakes so I had a few issues cooking them, but I figured it out towards the end and the next time I make these, I'm sure they will be great!

I tried to make these and really messed them up. I gave it four stars because even the mess was tasty! Since mine fell apart I just put a some on the side and added the sour cream and shredded cheese on top of the "lump" of potatoes.

Very good. I followed the recipe except I only used 3TBSP of flour with 1.5 cups of mashed potatoes. Will make again, the family enjoyed these potato burgers.

I have made this for years. I always try to have leftover mashed potatoes of whatever type. (loaded or not). Mashed potato cakes are great with bacon and eggs.
