Bubble and Squeak

Submitted by Queen Dragon Mom

"Just couldn't resist.... from FoodReference: BUBBLE AND SQUEAK An old English dish, named for the sounds the ingredients make while cooking (or from the sound one's stomach makes after eating it). Some sources say it was originally cold boiled beef and chopped cabbage, others claim it was originally mashed potatoes and cabbage, while some claim it originally contained all three. Today it is typically made from leftover potatoes and cabbage fried together."

I used smashed potatoes that I had left over.I tossed in the sauteed cabbage. I wanted to keep this low fat so I didn`t fry it. Great stuff!
