BACON & CHEDDAR POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• 1. * NOTE: Use real, homemade https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-potatoes/mashed-potatoes-2.html?p=2 that have been refrigerated (the consistency should be firm.) This recipe will not work with instant mashed potatoes. Recipe may be doubled or tripled.
• 2. Gather and prep ingredients.
• 3. To a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-low heat, add butter.
• 4. In a medium size bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, bacon bits and cheese.
