These pancakes are pure potato and flavor, no egg or flour filler!

More About This Recipe

  • Just like any potato preparation, these guys can be served “loaded” style, with bacon, chive, and sour cream. Some people do this hash brown style with grated potatoes, but I like them smooth and creamy, and lightly browned. Use Betty Crocker Loaded Mashed Potatoes, and you'll have the loaded potato taste on the inside and out! These Loaded Potato Pancakes are great as an appetizer, snack, or even for breakfast with all the leftover potatoes we're bound to have during the holidays. Just fry em up! So tender, buttery, and comforting.

    Be gentle with the pancakes at this point because they will be soft. Move to a serving dish and top with the bacon, chives, and sour cream.
