Instructions
Make the Bacon Jam
- 1In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pan.
- 2Add sliced onion to the bacon drippings and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet with the onions. Stir in brown sugar, cider vinegar, maple syrup, and water.
- 4Simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened into a jam-like consistency.
- 5Remove from heat and let cool.
Prepare the Fritter Mixture
- 1In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cabbage, chopped onion, flour, beaten egg, salt, and pepper.
- 2Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. The mixture should be thick enough to form patties.
Fry the Fritters
- 1Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 2Shape the potato mixture into small patties or fritters.
- 3Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
- 4Remove fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Tips
- Ensure mashed potatoes are completely cool before mixing to prevent the fritters from becoming too sticky.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying fritters; cook in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Serve the bubble and squeak fritters warm, generously topped with the homemade bacon jam.
