To make it even better the mash could be put into a pie dish and browned in an oven. To use up the last few potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips and swedes that maybe past their best in the larder, they were often scrubbed clean and chopped up into small pieces and boiled together until soft then mashed up with margarine/butter and lots of salt and pepper. One example of this is ‘bubble and squeak’. Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SPITFIRE12.It was quite common to mash up your leftover potatoes with other vegetables during the war. When the bottom of the patty turns a golden brown color youâ€™ll need to flip it over adding the other tbs of butter to cook on the other sideâ€¦and then, youâ€™re done.īubble and Squeak is typically served with cold meats (more leftovers from Sunday Lunch) or evening meal but is also often served with breakfast with eggs, baked beans, fried tomatoes, sausages, bacon, and perhaps black puddingâ€¦a typical fry-up with the bubble and squeak replacing the potatoes or hash browns. The â€˜bubbleâ€™ part probably comes from the first stage of cooking the potatoes and cabbage which are typically boiled.

You might hear the distinctive squeak which gives bubble and squeak half of its name around this point. When the oil/butter is heated, add the cabbage and potatoes and form into a patty and let cook. Then, add one tbs butter (can use oil too) to a frying pan or skillet and heat on a medium heat.

Now, mash potatoes and carrot togetherâ€¦ Chop or break up the cabbage into bitesize pieces too and mix both these together, adding a little salt and pepper to taste. It can also be just all the left over vegitables that are normally put in pot roast.)

(you can adjust the quantities in your recipe for bubble and squeak to suit your personal taste as desired, some people like half as much cabbage as potatoes, some like half and half.
