Crisco Vegetable Oil
2 tablespoons (None)
Hungry Jack Microwave Ready Regular Syrup

Instructions
1
In a large skillet, cook the Johnsonville original breakfast sausage patties over medium heat until fully browned and no longer pink, breaking them up into small bits as they cook. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.
2
Lightly spray a skillet or electric griddle with Crisco Original nonstick cooking spray. Heat the skillet to medium-high (around 375°F / 190°C).
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Hungry Jack buttermilk pancake mix and mashed potato flakes.
4
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and microwave-ready syrup (if using) until well combined.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined — take care not to overmix; it’s okay if there are some lumps.
6
Fold in the shredded carrots, sliced green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, and the cooked sausage crumble until evenly distributed.
7
For each pancake, pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet or griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 3 minutes.
8
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
9
Transfer 3 to 4 pancakes to a dinner plate, sprinkle with shredded sharp cheddar cheese while still hot, and serve immediately.
