Not a very healthy option, I know, but instead of oil or butter I always use bacon fat.
Start the week with crispy fried bacon and Bubble & Squeak for a breakfast treat. Monday mornings don’t seem so bad after all!

Used to have it when I was a kid.
Never any left overs now days to use up so will have to boil up the makings.

I love this recipe! We use it ALL the time! We add leftover turnip from Sunday nights’ meal to it, with potatoe and cabbage. We also might add a can of peas to this. It always comes out GREAT!

Love that I could find this!

Thanks,
KIM

Ex-pat living in US just got back from business trip to Blighty and had Bubble & Squeak in Midlands pub – marvelous and much better than I remember from being a kid !!! Potato and Cabbage ‘Patty’, Poached egg and crispy bacon on top. Even the food fussy ’septics’ traveling with me loved it. Is this the beginning of a Brit food revival ?

This is a good recipe – there are many variations but this one works well.

I have tried experimenting using either Sunflower oil, Olive oil, Butter and even Beef Dripping (or lard) and various cominations of Cabbage/Greens/Brussel Sprouts – (even mixing in a beaten egg) but can I replicate granny’s recipe – no way!

Superb… top tip though always use a heavy pased frying pan for bubble & squeak. Anything gets stuck to the base deglaze it with some still cider, bring to the boil and reduce, then pour over the bubble as a kind of gravy. Serve with cold cuts of pork or ham. hmmmmmm marvelous

thanks so much for this post – i’ve got a date tonight with some roast potatoes, a head of late-crop cabbage, and a brassicaphobic dinner partner. it looks promising.
