Wonderfully crisp, tender, and just melt-in-your mouth amazing. Can be served as an appetizer, side dish or even a light main dish!
I have a newfound love.
It’s potato pancakes. A carboholic’s dream.
And by using refrigerated hash browns, these come together with 10 minutes prep. No wait. More like 7 minutes.
You can also add in your desired toppings – like ham, bacon, pancetta, or maybe all three.
But even without that bacon fat, these are still good on their own, with a dollop of sour cream. Or ketchup. Maybe a little ranch mixed with buffalo sauce…
Sorry, I digress.
My point is – you can eat these on their own, with desired fill-ins, and/or your favorite dipping sauces.
Or you can eat them plain, over the kitchen counter, by yourself.
That way no one judges you as your stuff 4 of these in the middle of the night with a glass of wine.
