Bubbles and Squeak

Bangers, Bubbles, and Squeak is traditional English pub fare. I enjoy this dish when served with a few English bangers (sausages) and some rich brown gravy. The name “bubbles & squeak” comes from when the potatoes and cabbage are being cooked.

ingredients

4 large potatoes – peeled and diced and placed in bowl of cold water
1 t of parsley, chopped fine
1/2 C of cabbage, chopped
Pinch of celery salt
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or oil for frying

directions

Bring a pot of water with a sprinkling of salt to boil. Add the diced potatoes, bring them to a boil and allow them to simmer for 10 minutes. Once they start to go soft, drain them well, and then mash them. Add the shredded cabbage, celery salt, parsley, and seasoning to the mashed potatoes and mix them well together. Grab a portion of the potato-vegetable mix and roll into the palm of your hand forming a patty about 4-5” big. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the patties until they are golden brown or about 4-5 minutes.

notes

Serve with English sausages - "Bangers" and rich brown gravy. Pan fry the bangers and make the gravy. When ready to serve, pour the gravy all over the bangers, bubbles and squeak. Photo note: Rainy sunset in Friday Harbor, WA.
