Bubble and Squeak

Bubble and squeak is the English way of using up leftover potatoes and vegetables.

Mashed Potato
Green Cabbage
1 Onion
4 tbsp Olive oil
Salt and pepper

1 - Mashed potato: cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 15 - 20 minutes. Drain well and mash the potato with a potato masher until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, add the butter and milk and stir well.

2 - Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the centre stalk and shred the leaves finely.

3 - In a large frying pan, fry the onion in half the oil until soft. Add the cabbage to the pan and stir-fry for 2 - 3 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper, add the mashed potato and mix together well.

4 - Press the mixture firmly into the frying pan and allow to cook over a high heat pan for 4 - 5 minutes so that the base is crispy. Place a plate over the frying pan and invert so that the potato cake falls onto the plate.

5 - Add the remaining oil to the pan, reheat and slip the cake back into the pan with the uncooked side down, then repeat step 4. Cut into wedges and serve.
