Bubble & Squeak Recipe - Authentic British Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups cooked potatoes, mashed
  • 1 cup cooked cabbage, chopped
  • 1 cup cooked pork, shredded (Leftover pork works best)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter (For frying)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (Freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg (Optional, for flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (For garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped cabbage, and shredded pork.

    Use leftover pork for added flavor.
  2. Add Aromatics

    Stir in the finely chopped onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

    Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  3. Heat the Pan

    Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.

    Make sure the butter is bubbly but not browned.
  4. Cook the Mixture

    Add the potato mixture to the pan and flatten it into an even layer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

    Avoid stirring too often to ensure a crispy base.
  5. Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the mixture over in sections and cook for another 5 minutes until the other side is golden brown.

    Using a plate can help with flipping.
  6. Serve

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

    Great with a side of fried eggs or baked beans.
