Bacon And Chive Potato Pancakes

Directions

1. Peel the potato, grate it coarse, and press it between several thicknesses of paper towel to remove any excess moisture. In a bowl stir together the potato, the bacon, the chives, and salt and pepper to taste. In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat till it is warm but not smoking, form the potato mix into 4 patties, and cook the patties, tamping them down with a spatula, for 5 to 7 min on each side, or possibly till the pancakes are golden and cooked through. Serve the pancakes with the lowfat sour cream.
2. Serves 2.
