Here (approx) is my Mum's recipe for Bubble & Squeak. I've tried to translate it to be US friendly. Mum says she hasn't measured it out in years, and really anything leftover would go into it - this is the simple, basic recipe.
2-4 slices cooked bacon diced or cut into strips
1 small onion, chopped & fried until soft
2 cups cabbage
2 cups boiled potatoes
Dripping (leftover fat) from roast or butter for frying
Roughly mash potatoes (should be chunky)
Mix in with cabbage, bacon, onion
Heat dripping/ fat in skillet
Press mixture down & cook over a low-medium heat for approx 10 mins
Turn onto plate, return to pan to cook other side
You can also make wells in the bubble & squeak & drop eggs into them to cook.
