For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the potato mixture. If the potato mixture seems too wet, add a tablespoon of pancake mix at a time until it reaches a workable consistency. These pancakes can be made ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or microwave. Experiment with different types of luncheon meat or add other ingredients like shredded cheese or diced vegetables.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the cold mashed potatoes, diced bacon luncheon meat, buttermilk pancake mix, and lightly beaten eggs. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the vegetable oil (or bacon fat) in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat until shimmering. (3 minutes)
03
StepSpoon 1/4 cup portions of the potato mixture into the hot skillet, leaving space between each pancake. Gently press down on each pancake with a spatula to flatten them slightly into even circles. (2 minutes)
04
StepCook the pancakes, covered, until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Covering the skillet helps to cook the pancakes through evenly.
05
StepCarefully flip the pancakes and continue cooking, uncovered, until the second side is golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes more. (4 minutes)
06
StepRemove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. (1 minute)
07
StepServe hot with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, chives, hot sauce, or a dollop of apple sauce. These pancakes are also delicious cold, making them perfect for lunchboxes or snacks.
