Enhanced Bubble and Squeak

Bubble and Squeak is a cherished British classic that transforms leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables into a mouthwatering crispy delight. This hearty dish not only serves as a fantastic way to minimize food waste, but it also fills your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of fried comfort food. Traditionally enjoyed as a side dish or a hearty breakfast, Bubble and Squeak allows you to savor the comforting flavors of home-cooked meals with a fun, crispy twist. For an extra zing, serve it with a splash of tangy malt vinegar or a dollop of zesty ketchup.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Mashed potatoes
2 cups
Cooked vegetables (e.g., cabbage, carrots, peas)
2 cups, chopped
Onion
1, finely chopped
Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Malt vinegar or ketchup
for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked vegetables, and finely chopped onion. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. In a large frying pan, heat the unsalted butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
  3. Add the potato and vegetable mixture to the pan, pressing it down firmly with a spatula to form a flat cake, approximately 1 inch thick.
  4. Cook for 10-12 minutes without stirring, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Carefully flip the Bubble and Squeak using a large spatula. If it breaks, simply press it back together with the spatula.
  6. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once cooked, remove the Bubble and Squeak from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes before cutting into wedges.
  8. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a hearty breakfast, with a splash of malt vinegar or a dollop of ketchup for added flavor.

Tips

  • 💡 Feel free to use any combination of leftover cooked vegetables you have on hand, such as brussels sprouts, broccoli, or corn.
  • 💡 For a spicier version, add some chopped green chilies or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
  • 💡 To give it an even richer flavor, consider adding a few tablespoons of grated cheese to the potato and vegetable mixture before frying.
