Bubble And Squeak Slice Recipes

BUBBLE AND SQUEAK

Steps:

• Put a 28cm non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of oil and the butter (or, even better, any leftover dripping you have in the fridge).
• Pick in the fresh herb leaves and let them crisp up for a minute, then add the potatoes, veg, and any leftover chestnuts you've got. There's no need to chop anything first, as now we're going to mash it all up with a potato masher into a nice, flat, even layer.
• Season well with sea salt and black pepper, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until a lovely golden crust starts forming on the bottom.
• Now we get into the rhythm of the secret to good bubble & squeak. Use a fish slice to fold those lovely crispy bits back into the mash, then pat and flatten everything down again. Let it crisp up again, then repeat the process, and - importantly - keep repeating it over a period of about 20 minutes, until it's golden, super- crispy and delicious. About halfway through, nick a bit, taste it, and correct the seasoning if you need to. When it's looking good, you can serve it right away, or you can leave it on the lowest heat for a while - the flavour will only improve.
• You can serve this any which way you like - let's be honest, it's going to be amazing whatever you have it with. I like mine with fried eggs, a little lemon-dressed watercress and a few bombs of Piccalilli. Slices of leftover cooked ham are always going to go down a treat, too.

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.
