Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Potatoes
- 300 g Green cabbage
- 50 g Butter
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, shred the cabbage finely. Blanch it in boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Mash the cooked potatoes with 25g of butter until smooth. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper to the mash. Mix well to combine.
Heat the remaining 25g of butter and the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Spoon the potato and cabbage mixture into the pan, pressing it down with a spatula to form a large, flat cake. Fry for about 8-10 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
Using a spatula or plate, carefully flip the Bubble and Squeak over and cook the other side for an additional 8-10 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Once cooked, transfer to a plate and slice into wedges to serve. Bubble and Squeak can be enjoyed as a main dish or paired with meat, eggs, or baked beans for a more substantial meal.
