Steps:
- Special Equipment: Food Processor
- In a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard bacon fat in the pan. In a food processor fitted with the grater attachment, push potato, onion and garlic through the grater. Remove mixture to a towel and squeeze out excess liquid. Place potato mixture in a large bowl and mix in sage, eggs, flour, cooked bacon and salt and pepper, to taste. Fill the skillet with 1/4-inch of vegetable oil and heat until it ripples. Once the oil is preheated, form potato cakes, measuring roughly 3 inches in diameter, and add to the pan. Continue forming patties, working in batches. Cook pancakes until crispy and nicely browned, pressing down on the pancakes periodically to flatten, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a preheated 275 degree F oven while remaining pancakes cook.
Tips:
- For crispy pancakes, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the pan. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pancakes. Leave enough space between each pancake so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
- Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, sour cream, and fruit.
