6 tablespoons olive oil

1/3 cup red onion, grated

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash potatoes, rub with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, place onto a cookie sheet then cook until fork tender.

Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Grate onion into a medium mixing bowl, shred the potatoes and add to the bowl. Add the cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon, eggs, flour and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine. Place a 4-ounce patty into a hot sauté pan with oil, cook on both sides until golden brown, season and serve with your favorite entrée.
