- ¾ - 1 cup cheese, shredded to taste
- 10 lices Bacon optional
- ¾ cup crispy fried onions, finely crushed
- 1 large egg
- 3 tblsp all-purpose flour plus ¾ cup
- ¼ cup vegetable oil for pan-frying
Optional For Serving

- sour cream

Instructions
- Chop and cook the bacon. Place on paper towel.
- Combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon, eggs crispy fried onions and 3 tablespoons of flour in a mixing bowl.
- Roll approximately 6-8 balls of the mixture and then flatten into 1 inch thick “burgers.”
- Put the ¾ cup of flour in a bowl and then dredge the burgers in the flour. Heat about ¼ cup of oil in a large skillet. Using medium heat fry the burgers in the oil until each side is brown and crispy which usually takes about 4 minutes. Add more oil if you need to.

Notes
- Choose the right potatoes. For a creamy and smooth mashed potato texture, use Yukon Gold, Russet, or Idaho potatoes with higher starch content.
- Season the potatoes well. Don't skimp on seasoning! Salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic can make a world of difference in the flavor of your mashed potatoes. You can also add other seasonings such as paprika or onion powder based on your preferences.
- Avoid over-mashing. Over-mashing the potatoes can result in a gluey texture. Gently mash them using a potato masher or fork, and avoid using electric mixers or food processors.
- Shape the patties evenly. When forming the mashed potato burger patties, ensure that they are uniform in size and thickness. This will guarantee even cooking and a better presentation.
- Refrigerate before cooking. Pop your formed potato patties in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. This will help them hold their shape when cooking.
