Wild Food Potato Cakes
Ingredients
2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes
4 strips of bacon, sliced into 1 inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 Clove of garlic, minced
A cup of Cheese
A few tablespoons of fresh or dried herbs such as, parsley or chives
About a half cup of wild greens such as chickweed, daisy leaves, dandelion leaves, or you could also use garden greens like spinach, chard or kale. Wash the greens and chop them up.
Salt & pepper
Fried eggs for serving
Instructions
Fry up the bacon, then remove from the pan. Use the bacon grease to fry the onions. Cook onions until they are soft the add the greens, herbs and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the greens are wilted. Add the bacon and the onion, cheese and greens mixture to the mash potatoes. Add salt and pepper and mix up all the ingredients with your hands until well combined.
Using your hands make 4 to 6 patties. Fry them up in the frying pan until the outsides are nice and crisp. Make sure you have plenty of bacon grease or butter in the pan so the patties don't stick. Serve the Wild Food Potato Cakes with fried eggs on top.
Notes
These potato cakes are meant to be made from leftovers so throw anything in that sounds good. Just like all of my recipes, make sure to have fun ma
