Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I really want Arby's to bring back their loaded potato cakes. So I was thinking about that earlier, and then I thought about the leftover baked potatoes I had from the night before. I figured I'd get in the kitchen and try to replicate it. They actually turned out pretty good!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Laura's version of loaded hashbrowns is delicious! The cakes are crispy outside with a warm, creamy center. We love the bits of bacon and cheddar cheese in every bite. Serve warm with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce and you'll be in hashbrown heaven.
