BUBBLE AND SQUEAK 1  (Makes: 4 Servings) Ingredients: 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes per person 1/2 cup leftover cooked cabbage per person salt and pepper Preparation: Chop cabbage and mix well with mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and nutmeg, (optional). Heat bacon fat (for taste) or cooking oil (for a healthier version!) in a frying pan. Add the cabbage and potato mixture to the hot pan, and fry for several minutes until brown on the bottom. Invert the bubble and squeak onto a plate, and warm some more fat/oil in the pan. Slide the bubble and squeak back into the pan to brown and crisp the other side. The name "Bubble and Squeak" comes from the sounds the ingredients make while cooking. Some versions of this recipe add a meat ingredient, such as corned beef, to make a one-pan meal.  BUBBLE AND SQUEAK 2  Ingredients: 6 large potatoes cabbage cup cooked ham or bacon, chopped 1 large onion, chopped white pepper salt cup olive oil Preparation: Boil and mash the potatoes. Fry the chopped onions until brown and add to the mashed potatoes. Roughly chop the cabbage and boil in salted water until just cooked. Drain and add to the mashed potatoes together with the chopped cooked ham or bacon. Season with white pepper and salt to taste. Allow to cool slightly. Heat the olive oil in a large fry pan. Shape the bubble and squeak mixture into large balls, place in the hot oil, and flatten down with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, turn, and repeat for the other side. Serve immediately. |
