Mashed Potato Patties

Cook potatoes in boiling water covered for 15 minutes or until tender. Pour off water, leaving potatoes in saucepan. Return to heat and shake over heat briefly to evaporate water. Remove from pan and mash with a potato masher.

Add remaining ingredients and mash well. Allow mashed potatoes to cool. Stir in flour, onion and egg. Mix together well.

Drop 1/4 cup potato mixture at a time in to 1/8 inch of hot bacon drippings in a heavy skillet. Press into 3/4 inch thick rounds with the back of a spatula or fork.

Fry until golden brown; turning once. Drain well.
