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.
