Rumbledethumps (Scottish Mashed Potato and Veggie Casserole)
England has Bubble and Squeak and in Scotland, the delicious fry-up of vegetables is called Rumbledethumps. This Rumbledethumps recipe is based on a classic recipe from Sue Lawrence, one of Scotland's most famous cooks. You can use leftover mashed potato if you have some, or cook from fresh. Plus, the beauty of the dish is that it can be made the day before and heated up then all it needs alongside is a hearty stew, or if you prefer eat it on its own, or even try it with a fried egg on top. Enjoy!

- Melt about 1/4 of the butter in a frying pan, add the finely sliced cabbage or kale and cook gently for minutes until softened but not brown.
- Add the cabbage or kale to the bowl of potato and turnip, add the remaining butter and mash together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the mashed vegetables in an ovenproof baking dish, sprinkle the cheese on top, cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until heated right through. Remove the lid and cook for a further 5 mins or until golden brown on the top.
