Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 4 cups mashed potatoes

  • 1 (12 ounce) can fully cooked luncheon meat with bacon (such as SPAM® with Bacon), diced

  • 1 cup buttermilk pancake mix

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Mix mashed potatoes, luncheon meat, pancake mix, and eggs together gently in a bowl.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon potato mixture into hot oil and press with a spatula to flatten evenly. Cook, covered, until bottom is crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until second side is golden and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes more.

Cook's Notes:

Well-seasoned, prepared mashed potatoes are best for good results. There's no need to add salt before frying, the SPAM(R) has enough.

Substitute canola oil for the vegetable oil if desired.
