    Turn oven to 200 degrees. Fry bacon on medium high heat until just cooked, about ten minutes. Drain and cool, reserving pan and bacon fat. Dice the bacon, and mix with the potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the reserved bacon fat, add the pepper and mix again. Form into twelve 1/2 inch thick patties roughly the same diameter as the steaks. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and add the potato cakes. Cook for ten minutes on each side, then remove to a baking sheet. Place in the oven to keep warm until ready to use.
