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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked cabbage, grated carrots, and thawed peas.
Step 2
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir again to combine. The flour helps bind the ingredients together.
Step 4
With clean hands, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 2 cm thick.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the bubble and squeak cakes warm as a standalone dish, with vegan sour cream, or alongside a salad.
