Description
A cozy, crunchy twist on classic potato salad, featuring golden-crisped patties with a creamy interior, flavored with bacon, mustard, and green onions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10–15 minutes. Drain well and let cool until you can handle them.
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, and mustard. Stir in chopped green onions and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the potatoes are cool, fold them gently into the dressing until coated but not smashed. Form the mixture into patties (about 2–3 inches across).
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, about 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove patties from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or a sprinkle of chopped bacon if desired.
Notes
For a lower-oil option, consider shallow-frying or air-frying the patties. Ensure potatoes are well-drained and cooled for the best texture.
