Buble & sqeak
 

Do you use link or bulk sausage? Anyone tried it with instant taters?
Per-fry onions and sausage , then mix with tater. Then fry? bubble and squeak Thanks

What? No one makes this? When you have no teeth, you try anything:smack:

Sorry b. Never tried it.

Buster, I make something similar with tinned corned beef. I use leftover boiled potatoes and leftover cooked cabbage or Brussels sprouts, and chopped onion. Fry the onion first for a bit, then add the corned beef and potatoes cut in half inch chunks and whatever else you have. The trick is to leave it to fry for a while so that the bottom caramelises before trying to turn it over whole to brown the other side. You could use leftover mashed potatoes, I've never tried instant but I don't see why not. I'm sure sausage would work just as well.
The dish I've described is called corned beef hash.

Never had meat in bubble & squeak.
But if you must have meat, I'd suggest bacon.

Reading up on it, Bubble and Squeak may be a version of Colcannon which we get in the States usually along side corned beef.

Don't know about the States, but we have Colcannon mash here as well as bubble & squeak. Now I'll eat both. Happily. But they are different.

Colcannon tends to be a planned side, b&s is a main course to use up leftovers, which is why the ingredients vary from household to household. I put the kibosh on having sausage in it purely because meat is expensive. And cheap meat (dunno bout you 'Merlins but sausage meat is pretty much the bottom of the pile here) doesn't get a look-in as leftovers. Bought, cooked, scoffed.

My opinion only.

Thanks. It may be more like you say, planned vs leftovers.

I called you Merlins :D
Shows what I know.
