Bubble & Squeak

4 tbsp butter

½ cup onion, finely chopped

Leftover mashed potatoes

Shredded cabbage
any leftover vegetables, all finely chopped

Salt and black pepper

In a large frying pan melt the butter, add the chopped onion and fry gently until soft.

Turn the heat up slightly and add the mashed potato and vegetables. Fry for 10 min., turning over in the melted butter two or three times ensuring the potato and vegetables are thoroughly reheated plus you are aiming to brown the outside edges but not to burn the bubble and squeak.
Press the potato mixture on to the base of the pan with a spatula and leave to cook for 1 min. Flip over and repeat.
Serve.

An alternative is to mix the potato and vegetables and form into small patties then fry as above.

Bubble and squeak makes a lovely lunch with a fried egg on top.
