Bubbles and Squeaks

L  ove authentic british food.. for its blandness yet the best flavours are out…
Have been wanting to try my hands on mash potatoes ..until I came across this simple yet lovely recipe.
Its a improvised and seasoned version of mashed potatoes.. .I thoroughly enjoyed making it… Making mash potatoes requires no special art.. but thorough practice..
Above all , we paired it with Vetha koyumbu ( A south indian delicacy) for dinner.. and matched well…

 

INGREDIENTS:

Green Cabbage 1/2 Cup
Red onion 1 Nos medium
Salt & Pepper For seasoning
Olive Oil 4 Tblspn

 

For the Mashed potatoes:

 

All Season Potatoes 3 large Nos
Unsalted Butter 3 Tblspn
Milk 3 Tblspn
Salt & Pepper For Seasoning

 

 

DIRECTIONS:

  • To prepare mash potato , wash  peel and chop the potatoes into big chunks. Cook them in a large sauce pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 min. Have a check by piercing a fork … Once done , drain well and mash the potato with a masher until smooth. No chunks should come while enjoying this.
  • Season with salt and pepper , add butter & milk and stir well..
  • Shred the cabbage finely  and onions into thin fine strips.
  • In 2 tsp olive oil , fry the onions with a pinch of salt until soft. Add the cabbage to the pan and stir fry for 2-3 min until softened. Add the desired seasoning.  Add the prepared mash potato & give it a good mix.
  • Transfer this mix to a bowl for few minutes until we prepare the pan for this delicacy…
  • Add 1 tbspn of oil and allow it spread all over the pan. Once the pan is heated well , press the prepared mixture on to the pan until the pan is well coated.Allow it to cook in medium -high heat for 4-5 min so that the base turns out to be crispy. Invert the potato cake onto a plate .
  • Drop in the remaining oil to the pan, reheat and slip the cake back  to the pan , with the uncooked side down.
  • Continue the cooknig for another 4-5 minutes until the base is crispy again.
  • Remove  from flame , turn onto a hot plate , cut into wedges for serving. Serve immediately.
