Savory Bacon Potato Cakes Recipe with Ham, Egg, and Avocado

Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated hash brown potatoes
• 8 slices Pure Farmland® All Natural Uncured Bacon, cooked, roughly chopped
• 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 slices Farmland® Ham Steak, cut in half
• 4 eggs, sunny side up, or cooked to your choice
• 1 avocado, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Bacon Potato Cakes: In a large bowl, mix potatoes, crispy bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, flour, minced garlic, eggs, chopped green onions, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Scoop tablespoons of potato mixture for each pancake, gently flattening with a spatula. Cook until the underside is a deep golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes more, until golden and cooked through.
3. To Serve: Arrange the bacon potato cakes artfully on a plate and top with a flavorful ham steak. Crown with perfectly fried eggs and finish with a beautifully fanned arrangement of sliced avocado on top.
