Bubble and Squeak from Gracious Neighbors Alex, Melissa and little Cecil

INGREDIENTS

2–3 medium potatoes (or leftover mashed potatoes)

1 cabbage, roughly chopped

3 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.

• Parboil the chopped cabbage for 3 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat.

• Use tongs to transfer the cabbage to the pan with melted butter. Let it fry gently, stirring occasionally. Allow it to start caramelizing, but avoid burning.

• While the cabbage is frying, add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until tender.

• Once the potatoes are cooked, use tongs to transfer them into the pan with the cabbage. Add a healthy pinch of salt.

• Use a potato masher to gently mash the potatoes into the cabbage. Stir occasionally with a spatula to combine everything into a loose, pancake-like consistency.

• Continue cooking until the mixture starts to brown and you hear the signature popping and squeaking sounds—this means the water is evaporating and the edges are crisping.

• Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!​
