Ingredients
- 2 pounds baking potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces bacon
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Directions
Place potatoes in a bowl and wash under cold, running water until water runs clear. Place in a medium saucepan with salt. Add enough water to generously cover. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, until soft, about 15 minutes.
Peel and mash the boiled potatoes, using a fork or food mill, and while potatoes are hot, add butter and cream and mix well. Meanwhile, fry bacon until crisp and drain on paper towels, leaving half the fat in the skillet and reserving remaining fat. Add onions to skillet and saute until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add celery, sage, and pepper, and saute 2 more minutes. Add Brussels sprouts and saute 5 more minutes. Add lemon juice, and then combine vegetables with mashed potatoes. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Shape potato mixture into 10 patties, and heat reserved fat in clean skillet. Add patties to skillet and cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Crumble bacon on top and serve immediately.

You know, Brussels sprouts are baby cabbages. I agree with crabhain. Did either of you even try the recipe?
Didn't think so.

Bubble and Squeak is a very old recipe, with as many variations as there are people who make it. There is no absolute "authentic" recipe from which no variation is allowed. Do a web search, and see how many dramitically different recipes you find! With bacon, with suasage, without meat, different vegetables, pan fried, baked, and so on. Even to say this is a cabage and potato dish doesn't cover all of the "traditional" recipes out there. Giving this a 1 star because it isn't the way your family did it is not fair to the recipe. That said, this isn't the best recipe.
