Or if you prefer, you can fry it all up and keep moving it around the pan, mixing often. It can be fried as small burger-sized patties, as one big pan in a larger patty if you like it to look neat and even.

Sometimes with the addition of more vegetables. Most sources would define it as a breakfast dish made up of a mixture of leftover mashed potatoes and cabbage that've been fried up until browned. The whole point of this dish is to use up those leftovers in a comforting, hearty dinner. Or you can serve it with something other than eggs and bacon (cheese-topped beans, or even just a good glug of leftover gravy!). You can add in more veg - such as carrots or peas if you like. It's also one of the best ways to get the kids to eat their green veg, well one of mine anyway - the other one managed to pick most of it out, but a few bits definitely got past the green veg defences. This is my ULTIMATE Monday night speedy dinner. This is my quick and easy Bubble and Squeak- a delicious and traditional way to use up leftover mashed potato and cabbage from your roast dinner.
