A while back I made these parmesan garlic & bacon potato patties as I was craving a rosti style potato but with a little more flavor. These patties are super easy to make and are great for a side dish or even serve them up as appetizers. You can even add in some extra stuff if you wish, like veggies or shredded cheese, just remember to alter the points. These tasty bites of potato heaven are just 2 smart points each on WW freestyle

I might have missed it but how many servings does this yield ?
10!
10 servings – so this makes 10 patties ?
Yes that is correct
Could you make these with already shredded hash browns? And if so about how many cups?
To save on time, I use shredded hash browns (3 cups) and packaged bacon pieces (2 tbs.). According to my recipe builder, each patty is 1 freestyle point. Love these 🙂
Wow, that is awesome, thanks for sharing 🙂
If you use the packaged bacon pieces, what do you use to fry them in?
Hi Cheryl, you can use just a bit of olive oil 🙂
Glad to know they freeze well. Would you reheat from frozen or thaw first? And then microwave?
Would you top these with low fat sour cream?
Hi Deb, sure you could if you like.. I like dipping mine in a little hot sauce cause I love hot sauce lol
If you don’t eat pork, can you substitute frying it in olive oil instead of the bacon grease? Or is there another oil you’d recommend?
Yes absolutely, I’d use olive oil 🙂
