Crispy Smashed Potato Pancakes with Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Bacon and Eggs

A crispy smashed potato served topped with melted cheese, cool and creamy guacamole, crispy bacon, a fried egg with a runny yolk and a fresh tomato salsa!

Tomorrow is Cinco de May and these crispy smashed potato pancakes with guacamole, pico de gallo, bacon and eggs are a great way to kick off the celebrations! The idea here is that you take some cooked potatoes and smash them down into pancake like discs, brush them with oil and bake them until the are nice and golden brown, crispy and all sorts of good! I give them a “Mexican” kick by topping them with plenty of melted cheddar cheese, guacamole, crispy bacon, a fried egg with a runny yolk and finally a fresh tomato salsa, aka pico de gallo! There are just so many amazing flavours going on in these crispy smashed potato pancakes with guacamole, pico de gallo, bacon and eggs which are great for breakfast lunch or dinner!
