Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 300 grams Cabbage (finely shredded)
- 100 grams Carrot (grated)
- 30 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, steam the shredded cabbage and grated carrot for 5 minutes until soft. Set aside.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with the butter until smooth. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Mix the mashed potatoes with the steamed cabbage and carrot. Stir until the vegetables are evenly incorporated.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty about 1.5 cm thick.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour onto a plate. Lightly dredge each patty in the flour, making sure to coat all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the Bubble and Squeak Cakes warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream or alongside fried eggs for a hearty meal.
