Bubble & Squeak
(from bowden’s recipe box)
1st tried this at Greenfield Village’s Eagle Tavern
Source: Two Fat Ladies
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Cold cooked potatoes
- 2 oz. Lard
- 1 Onion -- finely chopped
- 8 oz. cooked cabbage or sprouts -- chopped
- Salt
- Black pepper -- freshly ground
Directions
-
Finely chop the potatoes and crush slightly. In a frying pan melt half the fat and lightly fry the onion.
-
Mix in the potato and greens and season well. (I actually find it works better to cook the cabbage until it wilts 1st, then add the potatoes)
-
Add more dripping or lard. Press the bubble into the hot fat and fry over a moderate heat until browned underneath.
-
Turn the bubble over, add the last of the fat and fry until the other side is browned.
