Ingredients

How to make it

  • Mash or rough-chop the potatoes.
  • Cut cabbage into bite-sized pieces and mix both these together, adding a little salt or pepper to the mixture if desired.
  • Heat a (preferably cast iron) skillet on a medium heat.
  • Add a knob of butter.
  • When butter is melted and hot, add the cabbage and potatoes.
  • Mash it down into sort of a patty.
  • Leave it completely alone for about four minutes.
  • Then have a peek at the underside.
  • If it's nicely brown, turn it over, otherwise give it another minute or two.
  • (This is usually served with leftover meat for supper. I like it for breakfast with eggs, baked beans, fried tomatoes and English sausages, if I can get them.)

    thanks, all, for your encouraging comments. for Karlyn: that's TREACLE pudding, which is yummy. Used to always be made with suet - now, not so much. Eaten with hot custard (always!) Will try to post both recipes when life slows down a little...
