Bacon Potato Cake with Cheese
A potato cake is a small patty of potatoes that has been dredged in flour and then pan fry with butter. My recipe today is Bacon Potato Cake with Cheese surprise in the middle. It is great for breakfast or side dish.
Here is the recipe
Bacon Potato Cake with Cheese
- 500g Potatoes
- 2 pcs Streaky bacon
- 1 medium size Onion
- 2-3 Cheese slices
- Seasoning
- 1 tsp Ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp Dried mixed herbs
- 1/2 tbsp Corn flour or add a little more if you find the potato mixture still a little wet
- 1/2 tsp Salt (optional)
Method:
- After washing potatoes, cut to wedges and submerge it in a pot of water and cook over high heat for 20 minutes before removing to cool or microwave potatoes till soft.
- Peel potatoes and mash it with a fork.
- Mince bacon, onion and cut cheese to small pieces separately. Heat olive oil in wok over high heat, then fry onion till fragrant, remove and set aside. Then remove oil from wok, stir-fry bacon for 30 seconds before turning off heat.
- Add bacon and onion into mashed potato. Add salt, ground pepper, dried mixed herbs and corn flour, mix well.
- Oil your palm with some olive oil before flattening a fish-ball-sized mashed potato in your palm. Wrap up the cheese, round it then flatten it into a potato cake.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in flat frying pan over high heat. Add potato cake and switch to medium heat to fry each side to golden brown.
Enjoy!
Kitchen note: you can make a healthier choices ~ substitute tuna for streaky bacon (Use tuna canned packed in water, remove water and add some salt to taste).

Hi Jovial, thanks for trying this potato recipe.
I am using US Russet potato and find it OK when frying, maybe next time when you make this again you can add some plain flour into it or make into croquette..that is dip the potato with some flour, egg and breadcrumbs then deep fry it. please refer to my Potato croquette under snack.
this potato cake is delicious..i just made it 🙂 thanks for sharing the recipe..
But Anncoo, my potato cake was too soft, like a mashed potato..it was really hard to fly it..do u know wat is d reason?
thank u..
oh wow these look so so tasty
This looks so delicious and I love the surprise cheese too :D)!
this is delicious Ann! thks for sharing 🙂
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.
Hope you'll have a wonderful weekend :))

@Biren @ Roti n Rice
Thanks Biren 🙂 Remember not to put too much bacon in it, it will be too salty afterwards.
@Talita
Hi Talita, Thank you! I'll definitely take a look at your chicken stuffed potato snack..must be very delicious.
Yes the cheesecake look so good to eat but I can't even transfer to English using google transfer, again blogger problem..sigh..
@J.O
J.O ~ 呵呵。。忍一忍啦！等明天早上在过来！
Lovely looking fritters with a great flavor combination.
Yummy! This looks very good! It reminds me of the malay "Pakadil" where they used mashed potatoes and fried it! Have you made it before?
I make something similar but it has minced meat instead of bacon. Your combination sounds very tasty too and those pictures are awesome!
Sounds so tasty and flavorful with bacon and cheese. These make a perfect breakfast food.
Ann, for me no substitute for bacon, that's the star! Perfect for a Sunday brunch.
great recipe…looks yummy dear..:P
Tasty Appetite
potato patties with a cheesy filling, oh, very very tempting.
Thanks for sharing Ann
delicious! love the cheese surprise 😀 Thanks for sharing.
These look delicious! We all love potato cakes! A plate of this would finish in no time at all in my house! Have a nice weekend!
I love the cheese surprise inside! My kids will loveit! 🙂
Thanks Anncoo! Let me try to figure out if I can understand, if I have any questions, I will ask you again. 🙂
Potato patties are my boys favorite. They also like bacon. I think I'll have to make a double batch of these to satisfy them. I need a few myself 🙂 Have a great weekend, Ann!
Love surprises, great one!
Hi, Anncoo! Love this idea! I do love potato and this potato cake remembers me a potato snack that I made.

I have no doubt that your recipe is also really good!
Thanks for your comment in Chocorango. You can't found the cheesecake and cake recipes in English 'cause aren't my recipes. In that post I was recommending another food blog, sadly, also in Portuguese.

Hi Alina, As there is bacon in it, I'm afraid there will be too much oil while baking. I think pan fry with little olive oil is better.
very yummy looking!
Love this recipe, thank you for sharing! the photo with the pan, did you place it in the oven? I'm wondering if I can make these in the oven, so it's a little bit more healthy 🙂 Have a great weekend!
