Step 1

Place the instant mashed potatoes and water into a microwave-safe bowl, and mix to combine. Microwave for 2 minutes, carefully take out (it will be very hot!).

Step 2

Mix in the bacon, scallions, and cheese.

Step 3

Take about 1/4 of a cup of mixture and roll it into balls.

Step 4

Flatten out slightly into 7 patties and press into the breadcrumbs, set aside.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter and oil. Once hot, add in the potato cakes and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.

Step 6

Serve with optional sour cream and more scallions.
