Ingredients:

2 tbsps

Vegetable Oil

2 large

Onion (diced)

1 large

Egg

Directions:

1

To make the stuffing: Preheat the oven to 250°F

2

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat

3

Add the bacon and fry until it is cooked through but still a little pink and soft

4

Remove the bacon from the skillet (leave the oil and fat in the skillet) and, when cool enough to handle, chop it fine

5

While the skillet is still hot, add the onions and place over low heat

6

Cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes

7

Add the mushrooms and bacon and raise the heat to medium

8

Season to taste with salt and pepper: Cover the skillet and cook for 15 minutes

9

Transfer the stuffing to an ovenproof dish and keep warm in the oven

10

Meanwhile, make the pancakes: Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater or with the grating disk of a food processor

11

Roll the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and wring out any excess moisture

12

Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and stir in the egg, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste

13

To cook the pancakes, pour the oil into the skillet and place over medium heat

14

When the oil is very hot but not smoking, pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter and spread it out with a spatula until it is about 6 inches in diameter

15

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until browned and the pancake is slightly crispy, about 3 minutes more

16

Transfer the pancake to a plate and place in the oven to keep warm

17

Repeat until all the batter is used

18

To serve, place 1/4 cup of the stuffing mixture on each pancake and then fold over

19

Put a dollop of sour cream on the side
