Ranch Potato Pancakes

Ranch potatoes—hash browns baked with bacon, sour cream, cheddar, and green onions—to go with steak dinners.

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 medium yellow onion, diced

1 pound potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated

1 cup sour cream

1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chopped green onions, green and white parts

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chopped cooked bacon

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1. Combine butter, onion, potatoes, sour cream, cheese, green onions, and bacon in a large bowl.

2. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Shape a handful of the potato mixture into a patty and dredge in the seasoned flour. Transfer to a dry cookie sheet.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Fry a few pancakes at a time in the hot oil until browned, turning once. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
