Ingredients
60g butter
½ onion, diced
100g thinly-sliced cabbage
70g chopped cooked meat (ham, bacon, spiced beef, goose etc)
100g leftover vegetables (carrot, peas, Brussels sprouts)
3 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed (340g leftover mashed potato)
50g butter
Sea salt and black pepper
Method
In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the cabbage, cooking it down until it becomes wilted and turns slightly golden or brown. Next, add the cooked meat and leftover vegetables. Mix in the mashed potatoes and incorporate everything, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper.
Using a spatula, you can either form the mixture into one tortilla style pancake or else separate the mixture into 4-6 pieces, forming them roughly into potato cakes. Add a little butter to the pan and cook these until golden brown, flipping them over and cooking them the same way on the other side.
Serve along with some good sausages, streaky bacon, and maybe a fried egg or two.
