Ingredients

• 4 cups frozen hash browns

• 5 slices bacon

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 eggs, beaten

• ½ cup grated cheese (such as Cheddar)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Step 2: Reserve Drippings and Crumble Bacon
Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon into small pieces and reserve the bacon drippings in the pan for frying.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the hash browns, beaten eggs, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the crumbled bacon and grated cheese until everything is evenly mixed.

Step 4: Shape and Fry the Pancakes
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a pancake. Heat the reserved bacon drippings over medium heat. Fry the pancakes for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Serve
Remove from the skillet and serve immediately while hot.
