Bubble and Squeak

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_and_squeak

What You'll Need 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted 1/2 cup/125 grams onion (finely chopped) 1lb/425g mashed potato Any leftover vegetables, cabbage, swede, carrots, peas, Brussels Sprouts, finely chopped Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste How to Make It In a large frying pan melt the butter (you can also use vegetable oil, but butter tastes better), make sure it doesn't brown. Add the finely chopped onion and fry gently for about 3 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Turn the heat up ever so slightly and add the mashed potato and all of the chopped up leftover vegetables. Fry for at last 10 minutes turning them over continuously in the melted butter ensuring the potato and vegetables are thoroughly reheated. Plus you are also aiming to brown but not burn the outside edges of the vegetables, so occasionally press the mixture into the pan to brown a little then continue stirring. Finally, when the mixture is heated right through, give the vegetables one long final press onto the base of the pan with a spatula and leave to cook for 1 min. Flip over and repeat. Serve as mentioned above with either a fried or poached egg on top, bacon pieces or ham pieces, or any leftover roast mixed in and reheated thoroughly. Traditional Bubble and Squeak Recipe 20 mins | Yield: Serves 2 | (61) An alternative is to mix the potato and vegetables and form into small patties then fry as above. Bubble and squeak cakes also make a great side dish for any roast meats, or as mentioned earlier, topped off with a poached or fried egg

Still learning

So each time I go into this I'm at a different page.

Not sure what this one is but I'm posting just to see what happens.

If you get a notice to read - let me know you got it and that will help me learn this blog thing.

Thank you.  
Watching the crown again prior to season two as I remember it to be pretty good.

Pretty good indeed - i'm 20 minutes in and just revel in a time when the people and their leadership where so in favor of each other - pollyanna no doubt - but i do look forward to the day when i can say again with pride... that's my President.
