Irish Potato & Bacon Cakes

Source: Recipezaar

Wonderful as a side dish or for breakfast/brunch. It is quite high in fat especially if you use dripping to fry them. 

4 slices bacon, chopped and crisp fried 
1 lb mashed potatoes, boiled & mashed 
2 tablespoons flour 
salt & pepper 
butter or dripping (for frying, I use lite olive oil though not traditional) 

Drain your bacon on paper towels. 
Mix the bacon with the mashed potatoes, flour, salt& pepper. 
Form into 4 patties. 
Heat the dripping (butter) (or oil) in a skillet and over medium heat fry the cakes about 5 minutes on each side or until golden, Serve.
