Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels, reserving bacon grease in skillet; crumble bacon.
Step 2
Melt butter in bacon grease over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer vegetables and bacon to a large bowl. Wipe the skillet clean and set aside; you'll use it again. Add mashed potatoes, cheese, flour, egg, mustard, black pepper, and hot sauce to the bowl. Mix to combine.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of mashed potato mixture, flattening slightly, and fry patties until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
