Ingredients
1 cup Shredded cabbage-shredded
2 cups Mashed potato
0.5 cup Peas-or any other leftover veggies such as beans, corn, etc.
0.5 cup cheese-grated
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 Egg-lightly beaten
2 tbsp Butter
Plain flour-for dusting
Salt and pepper-to taste
Directions
- Microwave or fry the cabbage until just soft.
- Squeeze out any extra liquid and leave it to cool.
- Finely chop the cabbage and place it in a bowl with the mashed potato and any other leftover veggies.
- Add the egg, cheese and mustard and mix until just combined (don’t overwork the mixture).
- Form six patties with your hands, and dust with flour.
- Place in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up before frying.
- In a frypan heat the butter until bubbling.
- Cook the patties for 3 – 5 minutes on each side, using an egg flip to turn them over. Try and get a nice crust formed on either side of the pattie.
- Serve the bubble and squeak hot! I like them with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce (see picture) just for something fancy!
