Start by cooking bacon in a cast iron skillet until done.

Set the cooked bacon aside to cool, reserving some bacon grease in the skillet.

Crumble the bacon into smaller pieces and add it to a bowl with mashed potatoes.

Add eggs to the bowl with the mashed potatoes and bacon.

Add fresh basil, chopped green onions, and parsley to the mixture.

Gradually mix in shredded cheese, adding a little at a time.

Season the mixture with AP seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Mix all ingredients until well combined, adjusting the consistency with flour as needed.

Add a tablespoon of reserved bacon grease back into the mixture for flavor.

Melt some butter in the skillet and add a little oil to prevent sticking.

Form the potato mixture into thick patties using your hands or an ice cream scoop.

Cook the patties in the skillet until crispy and golden brown on both sides.

Top the cooked potato cakes with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with parsley.
