Pea shoot bubble & squeak

You can serve this as potato mash, or fry to turn into bubble and squeak. It's a great way of using up leftovers, so give it a try!

Serves: 4
Preparation and cooking time: 30 minutes

What you need:

• 4 Medium Potatoes
• 1 Onion
• 2 Carrots
• 2 Leeks
• 100g Pea Shoots
• 2tbsp Butter
• 1tbsp Olive Oil

What you do:

1. Peel the potatoes then chop into small cubes.
   
2. Place the potatoes in a pan of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes or until soft enough to mash. The smaller the potatoes are cut, the quicker they will cook.
   
3. If you have left over carrots and leeks from a previous meal, they would be perfect in this recipe. Alternatively, peel and chop the carrots and leeks into small cubes and blanch them for 10 minutes while the potato is cooking.
   
4. Finely chop the onion and fry in 1tsp each of butter and olive oil.
   
5. Once the potato is cooked, mash it until smooth, add the onion, cooked carrot and leek.
   
6. Chop the pea shoots finely then add to the mash.
   
7. Mix thoroughly then allow to cool for 5 minutes.
   
8. This can be served as an alternative to plain potato mash, or fried to make bubble and squeak.
   
9. Heat the remaining oil and butter in a frying pan.
   
10. Take handfuls of the mashed potato mix and make into patties then fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
