Scottish Bubbles And Squeak Patties Recipes

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.

SCOTTISH BUBBLES AND SQUEAK PATTIES

Steps:

• 1. Boil the potatoes over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and mash; set aside.
• 2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cabbage and carrot, adding just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and stir into the mashed potatoes, along with the onion, mustard and Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• 3. Shape the mixture into 4 patties. Heat a greased grill pan over medium-high heat and place the patties in the pan. Grill until heated through and golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
