Bubble & Squeak

This is an old family favourite and something my mother used to cook for me.

Bubble Squeak is an excellent tasty way to provide your children with lots of vegetables and it is very easy too cook.

Ingredients:
550g of potatoes, peeled and cut in half
450g of cooked vegetables ( for example cabbage, onions, leeks, peas, brussel sprouts, carrots, or even lettuce)
50g unsalted butter
50ml of milk
1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley
Preparation Time: 10 mins

Cooking Time: 15 mins

Serves: 2 children

Steps

  1. Use a large pan with salted boiling water to cook the potatoes until tender.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan.
  3. Add the half the butter to the pan, add the milk and mash well ( or alternatively don’t mash them but dice the potatoes without the milk into smaller pieces which is just as nice)
  4. Add the cooked vegetables and parsley adn season.
  5. Place a large frying pan on the stove and melt the remaining butter.
  6. Add the potatoes and vegetables to the frying pan.
  7. Cook slowly over a low heat for about 10 minutes. Occaisionally flip over the mixture, don’t worry it is breaks up, and begins to get grisp ( this is the best bit).
  8. Cut into small portions before serving.
  9. Can also be served with chicken, ham or a poached egg forĀ  a more substantial meal.
