Potato Peanut Cakes Recipe

  • 3/4 pound Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 bacon slice
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1/4 finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Cooking spray
  • Chopped fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
  1. Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool. Shred potatoes into a large bowl.
  2. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan; crumble. Add corn, onion, bell pepper, and thyme to drippings in pan; cook 4 minutes or until onion is tender.
  3. Combine potato, bacon, corn mixture, green onions, peanuts, salt, and egg; stir with a fork until well blended.
  4. Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Coat griddle with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/3 cup potato mixture onto hot griddle; flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Garnish with thyme, if desired.
