Notes
Notes: *If you have any leftover potatoes, do use them and if you don't have quite enough, boil a few extra to make the total potato amount up to 600g. **Traditional bubble and squeak uses Brussels sprouts or cabbage for the vegetable element but any leftover vegetables will work - just make sure you chop them into bite-sized chunks. I used sprouts, carrots and leeks in mine.
