Recipe: Potato Beignets

Perry, I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, as it does not have bacon and cheese, but you may easily be able to add these ingredients. I hope it's a start anyway.

Beignets de Pommes de Terre
(Potato Fritters)

4 to 5 potatoes (about 1 1/3 pounds)
3 eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 medium onion, peeled and grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup (approximately) vegetable oil

Peel, wash, and grate the potatoes. The potatoes should be liquid. Press the mixture in a towel to extrude some of the juices, Mix with the eggs, flour, grated onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and cream.

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil at a time in a large skillet and drop 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter. Make 3 or 4 fritters at a time, depending on the size of the skillet. Cook about 2 minutes over medium heat on the first side; turn over and cook 1 minute on the other side. Repeat until you use all the batter. Yield: About 12 to 14 fritters. Serve as quickly as possible because the fritters will eventually soften and lose their crispness.(Serves 6)
