Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Mashed potatoes
- 200 g Cabbage
- 150 g Carrots
- 30 g Butter
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the cabbage and grate the carrots (or dice them small if preferred).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped cabbage, and grated carrots. Mix well until evenly combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil.
Spoon the potato-vegetable mixture into the skillet and press it down with the back of a spatula to form an even layer.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy. Avoid stirring or moving the mixture too much during this process.
Carefully flip sections of the mixture to brown the other side (if flipping the whole thing is too difficult, you can flip smaller portions). Cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the second side is crispy and golden.
Remove from heat and serve hot. Bubble and Squeak is delicious on its own or topped with a fried egg, served with bacon, or alongside sausages.
