Bubble and squeak is a traditional English dish made from leftover mashed potatoes and cabbage fried together. It is typically served with a fried or poached egg, and sometimes also bacon. The name "bubble and squeak" is thought to come from the sound that the ingredients make when they are fried. This tasty dish is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and cabbage, and it can also be made with other leftover vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, or turnips. Bubble and squeak is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to get your children to eat their vegetables.

BUBBLE 'N' SQUEAK II
Not sure about the name but the dish is delicious. A simple dish of cabbage and noodles, but don't try to substitute butter, it's not as good. Try it with 1/2 pound of pastrami or corned beef cooked in.

QUICK AND EASY TRADITIONAL BUBBLE AND SQUEAK DISH
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and make sure it doesn't brown. Add the finely chopped onion and fry gently for about 3 minutes or until soft and translucent.
- Turn the heat up ever so slightly and add the mashed potato and all of the chopped-up leftover vegetables. Add the chopped meat if using. Fry for at least 10 minutes, turning everything over continuously in the melted butter to ensure that the potato and vegetables are thoroughly reheated. You are also aiming to brown (but not burn) the outside edges of the vegetables, so occasionally press the mixture into the pan to brown a little before turning.
- Finally, when the mixture is heated right through, give the vegetables one long final press onto the base of the pan with a spatula and leave to cook for 1 minute. Flip over and repeat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with either a fried or poached egg on top. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Melt 1 tbsp duck fat, goose fat or butter in a non-stick pan, allow it to get nice and hot, then add 4 chopped streaky bacon rashers. As it begins to brown, add 1 finely sliced onion and 1 chopped garlic clove.
- Next, add 15-20 sliced cooked Brussels sprouts or shredded boiled cabbage and let it colour slightly. All this will take 5-6 mins.
- Add 400g cold mashed potato. Work everything together in the pan and push it down so that the mixture covers the base of the pan.
- Allow the mixture to catch slightly on the base of the pan before turning it over and doing the same again. It's the bits of potato that catch in the pan that define the term 'bubble and squeak', so be brave and let the mixture colour.
- Cut into wedges and serve.

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK
Each year at Christmas, I make sure I have leftovers to make this bubble and squeak on Boxing Day. I like to serve it with cold turkey and salad. This version can be made any time of year, and it's also good served at brunch with sausages. I find it helpful to use an ice cream scoop to divide the potato mixture into portions before flattening them. -Tanya Aggett, Toronto, Ontario

BUBBLE N SQUEAK PATTIES
This is another recipe I got from "Brain Foods for Kids: Over 100 Recipes to Boost Your Childs Intelligence" a mail in offer I got from Kashi. The whole family seems to like it pretty well. We usually do these for breakfast when we have leftover mashed potatoes from a dinner. I sometimes substitute fresh spinach or even bok choy for the cabbage. Also the recipe originally called for the patties to be coated in flour and fried in sunflower oil, but I omit the flour coating and just spray the pan with olive oil spray to cut calories and fat.
