Bubble & squeak with hollandaise on fried bread

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

This is the gourmet version of bubble and squeak. Very rich and fattening, but irresistible. You can buy hollandaise sauce in a jar; it’s not exactly like the real thing, but it’s good all the same.

Ingredients

Dripping oil or butter, for frying
140 g boiled and mashed potato (leftover is fine)
Handful cooked cabbage, or any leftover green vegetables, roughly chopped
2 thick slices white bread
2-3 t hollandaise sauce
a little milk, if needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Instructions

1. Fry the bacon in a little fat until it is crispy all over. Lift out the rasher, allow to cool, then chop them up.

2. Mix the potato, green vegetables and bacon bits together. Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper as necessary. Shape into 2 patties each about 2.5cm thick.

3. Fry the slices of bread on both sides in the bacon pan, adding a little more fat if needed, then put them on separate warm plates.

4. In the same pan, fry the potato patties gently to brown both sides and heat through. Put them on top of the bread.

5. Spoon over the hollandaise sauce. (You may need to thin it with a little milk to get it to a just-pouring consistency.). Grind a little pepper on top.
