Bubble and Squeak is a classic leftover dish that deserves a place on any Sunday table.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes (baked, flesh scooped out)
- 1 Fuji apple (peeled, cored, and quartered)
- 1 Rutabaga (peeled and quartered)
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts (halved and sautéed until heavily browned)
- 1 large parsnip (peeled and cut into large chunks)
- 1/3 cup sliced scallions
- Olive oil (to taste)
- Unsalted butter (to taste)
- 1 stem of rosemary
- 3 stems of thyme
- 6-8 sage leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Method:
- In a large saucepan, blanch the rutabaga, parsnip, and apple in salted water until cooked through.
- Allow the mixture to cool, then blend until smooth and set aside.
- Sauté the Brussels sprouts and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato flesh, puree, and Brussels sprouts. Mix well by hand.
- In a well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium heat, fry the herbs in butter. Remove the herbs, then add the potato mixture to the pan and flatten it out.
- Cook over low heat for 20-30 minutes until a crust develops.
- Place a large plate over the pan and flip the mixture onto the plate. Slide the mixture back into the pan and cook the other side for an additional 20-30 minutes on low heat.
- Flip the mixture onto a serving platter.
- Allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut into pie wedges and serve with a fried egg on top.
