For extra crispy pancakes, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the shredded potatoes before mixing with the other ingredients. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as chives or rosemary, in place of or in addition to the thyme. These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (200°F) until ready to serve. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of maple syrup for added flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, approximately 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside, reserving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, crumbled bacon, beaten eggs, flour, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed, approximately 2 minutes.
03
StepAdd vegetable oil to the reserved bacon drippings in the skillet, ensuring you have about 1/4 inch of oil in the pan. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it shimmers, about 3 minutes.
04
StepCarefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot oil, gently flattening each into a patty about 3 inches in diameter. Avoid overcrowding the skillet, about 2 minutes to shape.
05
StepCook the pancakes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Flip carefully and continue cooking until the second side is equally golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
06
StepRemove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and place them on a clean paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil, about 1 minute.
07
StepServe immediately and enjoy!
