Instructions

Mix the potato buds with the boiling water.
Stir well.
Mix in the cheese and bacon.
Spread the mixture 1/2 inch thick on to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Put it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours until firm.
Using one large and one small cookie cutter or other round cutter, cut the potato mixture into donut shapes.
Mix the flour into two separate bowls and season.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk.
Dredge the potato rounds in the first bowl of flour, shake off the excess flour and dip into the egg mix, then coat in the other flour bowl.
Fry at 350°F for about 2 minutes until nicely browned.
Repeat with all the potato rounds until finished.
Allow to dry briefly on paper towel, then serve immediately.
They may be hot, so be careful!
