1. 1
   Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
2. 2
   Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until cooked through but not browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. 3
   Grate potatoes, onions, and carrots in a food processor; transfer to a large bowl and mix to combine.
4. 4
   Stir cooked bacon and bacon fat into the potato mixture.
5. 5
   Mix in 2 cups of flour, salt, and pepper and stir well. If filling appears too wet, gradually mix in more flour for a firmer consistency. Spread mixture evenly over lined baking sheet.
