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
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the cabbage and grate the carrots (or dice them small if preferred).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped cabbage, and grated carrots. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 3
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter with the olive oil.
Step 5
Spoon the potato-vegetable mixture into the skillet and press it down with the back of a spatula to form an even layer.
Step 6
Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy. Avoid stirring or moving the mixture too much during this process.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
