Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds baking potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 heavy cream
  • 4 ounces bacon
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon

Directions:
Place potatoes in a bowl and wash under cold water until water runs clear. Place in a medium saucepan with salt. Add water to generously cover. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered until soft, about 15 minutes.

Peel and mash the boiled potatoes, using a fork or food mill and while potatoes are hot, add butter and cream and mix well. Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp and drain on paper towels, leaving half the fat in the skillet and reserving remaining fat. Add onions to skillet and saute until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add celery, sage, and pepper and saute 2 more minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and saute 5 more minutes. Add lemon juice and then combine vegetables with the mashed potatoes. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Shape potato mixture into 10 patties and heat the reserved bacon fat in a clean skillet. Add patties to skillet and cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Crumble bacon on top and serve immediately.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings.


Bubble and Squeak was traditionally made of left over mashed potatoes and cabbage and bits of beef from the Sunday rost beef dinner. This is a more modern version. You can substitute chopped cabbage for the Brussels sprouts if you wish,.
