Savory Bacon and Potato Pancakes

Most of the time, I just use bacon as a topping – I sprinkle a little on Breakfast Potato Skins or on Breakfast Beet Pizza. But you see, these pancakes have bacon IN them – but, there is just a tad bit of it.

These pancakes are a marriage of potatoes and bacon and eggs. These pancakes have no added flour in them – in any form. Just mashed up potatoes, coconut milk, eggs, chives, bacon and a pinch of salt.

  • Interesting recipe and one that I will certainly be trying. However, there appears to be a misprint in the quantity of coconut milk.

  • This looks very tasty. Can you verify the quantity of the coconut milk. You wrote 1 1/. Did you mean 1 1/2? Also, under instruction #3 you misspelled milk. Thanks

  • This looks delicious – but I really don’t want to try to make it until you post exactly how much coconut milk to use. Currently, the recipe calls for “1 1/” Thanks. Please post – I’m anxious to try these!

  • I really enjoyed your recipe Shashi. The use of coconut milk is intriguing. We use a lot of this in our cooking (Philippines and South East Asia). I want to try using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. I’ll keep you posted.

  • Shashi. I made these 2 nights ago according to the recipe and found them to have very little flavor. After tasting the first batch, I even incorporated some smoked cheese to bump it up. I still like the concept so will try again adding more favorable ingredients. It took a lot of practice to find the right temperature using my cast iron griddle to ensure they cooked through without burning either side. Next time, I think I will use my electric fry pan next time to help bake while frying. BTW, I even tried using my waffle maker but the thin texture and lack of a rising agent made it a failure. That being said, thanks for the recipe and your wonderful website.

  • Hi. I’m new to using coconut milk, but I know that there is canned coconut milk and boxed coconut milk (sometimes refrigerated, sometimes not). What kind do I use? I’d love to try these because they look and sound yummy!
    Thanks.
    Sharon,

  • I tried following your recipe and I cannot make a good pancake for some reason! It’s not sticking together and falls apart :(






    • So sorry to hear that Kim – I cooked these over a very, very low flame for quite a bit so that I could flip them and they wouldn’t fall apart. I’m thinking maybe you could reduce the liquid?

  • I tried these and used a can of light coconut milk. I know the receipt calls for full fat, but that’s what I had on hand. Mine did fall apart until I cooked them on low heat. However, they came out very flat and were crispy if cooked all the way through. I loved the taste, but maybe I didn’t execute it correctly. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
