Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Mashed potatoes
- 150 g Cabbage (shredded and cooked)
- 100 g Carrots (grated or finely chopped)
- 50 g Frozen peas (thawed)
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Nutritional yeast (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked cabbage, grated carrots, and thawed peas.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir again to combine. The flour helps bind the ingredients together.
With clean hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet (work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding). Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Carefully transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the bubble and squeak cakes warm as a standalone dish, with vegan sour cream, or alongside a salad.
