BUBBLE AND SQUEAK - TRADITIONAL BRITISH FRIED LEFTOVERS!
I make this so often, that I thought it was about time I posted the recipe! This amusingly named dish is basically traditional British fried leftovers, and probably enjoyed more than the original vegetables were I think! In fact, I have been known to cook the vegetables in order to make the Bubble and Squeak! The name is thought to originate from the noise it makes whilst cooking in the frying pan - bubbling and squeaking, whatver the reason, this simple dish is delicious and a wonderful way to "fry up" your leftover spuds and greens! I like to season mine with lots of freshly ground black pepper. This is a traditional post-Christmas breakfast dish - but don't wait until then to make this. Excellent if served as part of an English breakfast with bacon and eggs, or as a light supper dish.

Steps:
- Mix the cabbage or sprouts with the mashed or diced cooked potatoes and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Method if using mashed potatoes:.
- Heat the butter in a large frying pan, add the potato mixture and smooth it flat with a spatula.
- Fry over a medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until underside is brown, and the Bubble and Squeak sizzles, bubbles and squeaks! (Sorry, could not resist that!).
- Place a large plate over the pan and turn the pan and plate over so that the bubble and squeak is on the plate.
- Heat the remaining butter in the pan and carefully slide the bubble and squeak back in the pan.
- Cook again over a medium heat until the other side is golden brown.
- Cut into wedges and serve with eggs and bacon for breakfast, or bread and butter for a light snack or supper dish. This is also wonderful as an accompaniment to stews and casseroles.
- Method for diced boiled or roast potatoes:.
- If using diced boiled or roast potatoes, mix all the vegetables together as above, and just fry them in a frying pan together; there is no need to press them down into a cake - stir them regularly to achieve an all over colour; then serve them with a spoon, rather than cut into slices. They still taste the same!

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK
Don't throw that last bit of mashed potato away - try Bubble and Squeak instead. The name comes from the noise it makes in the pan when frying. From The Popular Potato this dish is a favorite British breakfast treat.
