You may need to cook in batches, keep cooked cakes warm in a low oven while frying the rest. Add a splash of oil to the pan and fry the cakes for 3-4 minutes each side, or until golden brown all over.Mix in the egg until it just starts to come together then shape the mixture into 8 small cakes with wet hands.
Add the chopped potatoes, vegetables and parsley, season well and mash together – you can make this as chunky or smooth as you like.Transfer the mixture to a large bowl to cool slightly. Cook for a few minutes until crispy then add the shallot and garlic and cook for a further 4-5 minutes until softened and lightly coloured. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the pancetta.Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.250g leftover cooked vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, carrots, parsnips or cabbage, roughly chopped.250g leftover roast potatoes, roughly chopped.I usually cook cabbage and extra potatoes at Christmas because I know that I’ll be making my bubble and squeak recipe the next day and I’m pretty sure that if you try making it once yourself then I guarantee you’ll start doing this yourself. I’ve got no idea who lovely Howard is but if he means it’s the tastiest dish you can make super cheaply from leftovers then he’s absolutely spot on. This isn’t a fancy dish by any means – in fact, Google tells me that the food writer Howard Hillman classes it as one of the “great peasant dishes of the world”. I make my own version now and it’s one of those tastes that remind me of my childhood, my Dad specifically which makes me enjoy it even more. We had it every Boxing day using our Christmas Dinner leftovers and at least once a month using Sunday Dinner leftovers often served with a poached egg on top and some slices of cold meat with it.
Traditional Bubble and Squeak is made from cooked potatoes and cabbage, mixed together and fried but my Dad used to make his with whatever leftover vegetables we had on the day. At this time of year, the one recipe that should be at the top of your must-cook list should absolutely be this traditional Bubble and Squeak recipe!
