Instructions

Preheat skillet or griddle to medium heat. Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl, stir to combine.
Spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Taking heaping spoonfuls of the potato mixture at a time (about 1/4 cup), place each spoonful on the skillet and smash down so it is flat. Cook one one side until it is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip over and cook on the other side until golden, approximately an additional 2-3 minutes. Continue until all the mixture is gone.
Remove from the skillet. Serve topped with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt and extra chopped green onion and real bacon bits. Add extra salt and pepper, if desired.
