Step 1: Boil, steam or microwave potato until tender; drain. Mash potato in large bowl until smooth.
Step 2: Meanwhile; cook the onion and bacon in small non-stick frying pan, stirring, until bacon is crisp. Add bacon mixture to potato with cheese and sour cream; stir to combine. ( I remember placing these in the fridge for a while to make easier to handle).
Step 3: Using floured hands, shape potato mixture into 12 patties; roll in flour, shake off excess.
Step 4: Heat the butter and oil in large frying pan and fry the potato cakes, in batches, until browned lightly both sides.
Step 5: Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
