MaryLee's Healthy Food and Easy Cooking - Bubble and Squeak

Hello again,

I talked earlier about how a lot of people do not want to deal with leftover. But leftovers can be used up so easily and the meal does not seem like leftovers.

I guess a lot of people think leftovers is just redoing the same meal again with the left over ingredients, rather than use these leftovers for another type of meal altogether.

For example here is a great way to use up left over vegetables and mash potatoes, especially after a Sunday roast. The easiest thing to make is Bubble and Squeak.

1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic chopped
Left over mashed potatoes about 3 cups
Left over vegetables chopped about 2 cups
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp (tablespoon) flour
2 tbsp light oil

In skillet heat oil, add onion and garlic and cook until tender.

In bowl mix mashed potatoes, vegetables, cheese and flour add the onion and garlic and form into patties.

Place patties on lightly oiled baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 400 F – 200 C for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

Rather than make patties, in the skillet after cooking the onions and garlic, mix in the potato mixture and brown on both sides.

Serve with poached eggs, fried eggs or slices of leftover meat.
