BUBBLE 'N' SQUEAK



Bubble 'n' Squeak image

Cabbage, bacon, ham, onion and leftover potatoes make up this tasty, easy dish. This is a great way to get the kids to eat cabbage. Using leftovers makes this main dish especially quick to make. I recommend using a good nonstick pan. Serve with ketchup, if desired.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1 pound mashed potatoes, about 2 cups
1 cup leftover vegetables (e.g., cabbage, kale, peas, cooked swede, cooked carrots, and/or cooked Brussels sprouts), finely chopped
Optional: bacon, leftover roast, bangers, and/or ham, chopped
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: fried or poached eggs, for serving

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and make sure it doesn't brown. Add the finely chopped onion and fry gently for about 3 minutes or until soft and translucent.
  • Turn the heat up ever so slightly and add the mashed potato and all of the chopped-up leftover vegetables. Add the chopped meat if using. Fry for at least 10 minutes, turning everything over continuously in the melted butter to ensure that the potato and vegetables are thoroughly reheated. You are also aiming to brown (but not burn) the outside edges of the vegetables, so occasionally press the mixture into the pan to brown a little before turning.
  • Finally, when the mixture is heated right through, give the vegetables one long final press onto the base of the pan with a spatula and leave to cook for 1 minute. Flip over and repeat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with either a fried or poached egg on top. Enjoy.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK



Bubble and Squeak image

Each year at Christmas, I make sure I have leftovers to make this bubble and squeak on Boxing Day. I like to serve it with cold turkey and salad. This version can be made any time of year, and it's also good served at brunch with sausages. I find it helpful to use an ice cream scoop to divide the potato mixture into portions before flattening them. -Tanya Aggett, Toronto, Ontario
