Bubble and Squeak

Otherwise known as fried potatoes and cabbage!


This is a properly combined meal, for those seniors who have digestion issues. Protein will be served at another time, in that case. 

• 1 lb russet baking potatoes
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 lb green or Savoy cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Peel potatoes and cut into 1" chunks.


Place potatoes in Dutch oven, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain.


Heat coconut oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion until sightly browned and carmelized, about 10 minutes. Add cabbage with salt and pepper and saute until tender, about 5-10 more minutes. Feel free to add more coconut oil if vegetables stick or get too brown. 


Add potatoes, mashing and stirring into cabbage (leave some of the potatoes lumpy). Press with a large spoon or spatula to form a cake.


Cook without turning until the underside is golden and crusty, about 10 minutes. Serve at once with additional coconut oil, salt, and pepper. 


This would go well with a tossed salad or crusty bread. You may also serve with additional vegetables.
