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.
