This old English dish is so called because the mixture often emits squeaking noises when cooked! Ideal way to use up left over mashed potatoes and cabbage (I've also used leftover brussel sprouts cut into slices and also broccoli).
1 small onion, halved and cut into thin slices
[SIZE=-1]1 lb leftover mashed potatoes[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]1 lb leftover cooked cabbage
2 oz butter or equiv amt of sunflower oil
Freshly ground salt and pepper, to tast[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Mix in the cabbage with the potato and season to taste with salt and pepper
Heat half the butter in a large frying pan, and gently fry off the onion until transparent, but not browned. Mix into the potato mixture, return all ingredients to the frying pan, and smooth flat with a palette knife.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]
Fry over a medium heat for about 8 minutes or until under side browns
Place a large plate over the pan and turn the pan and plate over so that the bubble and squeak is on the plate, Heat the remaining butter in the pan and carefully slide the bubble and squeak back in the pan. Cook again over a medium heat until the other side is golden brown. Cut into wedges and serve with a poached egg on the side!
