Bubble and Squeak with Leeks!
What you'll need:
What you'll do:
First, peel and chop potatoes to make mashed potatoes.
Then mince and sautee 1/2 yellow onion, 1 clove garlic
and about a handful baby leeks.
Once the mashed potatoes are done,
(mash them about 75% so they still have form to them,)
stir in the sautee mixture into the potatoes.
Form several patties from the potato mixture and panfry
until they are golden brown on all sides.
Serve and Enjoy!

Yum, they look nice. Is there a few diff recipes for this cause I've seen it done as a sloppy throwin on toast? Aussies do tend to murder old traditional recipes..
Tradition...Tradition! Very nice dish. This and "cock-a-leekie" soup both turned up when I was searching.
Your step-dad, I'm sure, would be having a stroke if he was reading this because it is nothing like his version of bubble and squeak. Where's the cabbage? Where's the bacon? However, it looks pretty yummy to me!
I've never heard of this "bubble and squeak" but once again, I like your recipe. You make things look easy AND tasty. I still remember your potato smashes.
OMG! Potato-mashy things fried???
LOVE!
You be the Queen of Potatoes, grrrrrl, and this dish looks simply de-lish. Another great side dish entry! One can NEVER have too many side dish options.
I shouldn't read these culinary challenge blogs when I'm already hungry.
What you made is a lot like potato latkes. We have an order of Polish nuns down the street that have an annual carnival and this is one of the main reasons I go (kielbasa being the other). They look great, did you fry them in butter or cooking oil? And you went with the smaller (I guess milder) leeks too. Bet they were good.
Yum!
I've had the very Zeussical green mashed potatoes before .... but I have never seen this leeky bubbles and squeak. Sounds like a most excellent recipe because it would be a good accompaniment with so many entrees. Are they better in the final step in non-stick or classic cast iron?
Passion: I bet its good done as slop. A lot easier too.
Troll: It’s the only thing I know to put leeks in. And thanks for getting that song stuck in my head. (I was in that musical as a teen. I was the dead grandmother. Ah the proud moments in life. :/ )
Mom: I didn’t see a recipe to add bacon! I love bacon! I didn’t use cabbage because the challenge was leeks! I venture out to new things now. Like the cranberry chutney!
Boxer: I’m a simple and easy kind of girl! Bubble and Squeak is just named for the sounds it makes when it cooks. Nothing to do with ingredients or taste! Try these out too, but you just can’t beat the crash hot potatoes!
Allison: Girl, give them a try. Delish.
Moi: I’m just that meat and potatoes kind of chick. I didn’t think of this as a side dish! We had it as the regular meal! (It’s supposed to be a way to do your leftovers.)
Minnow: Maybe it will inspire you to get creative in the kitchen! A bachelor who can cook? Wooo-weee! It just may just impress Girl Who Won’t Be Your Girl Friend. ;)
Buzz: I looked high and low for the baby leeks. And I don’t think they are as strong on the flavor. I know you’re a fan of the butter, but I just used some extra virgin olive oil. And, I bet I’d love that annual carnival.
Fishy: Give em a try! I just used a non-stick pan, but I bet the iron skillet would give them that extra irresistible flavor. Mmmm.
How do you know what Bubble and Squeak is? Have some Brits in the fam?
Looks good anyway, ya need a few bangers to go with! La Diva loves potatoes! Great job! So many different ideas for this challenge!
Good afternoon Grandma Seidl,
Wow, these look neat! They could be a dinner or a side. Add Buzz Kill's Kielbasa and some sautéed Brussels sprouts on the side (to get the cabbage flavor for your mum) and oh boy what a meal.
Did hubby likey?
Ah hahah! Bube Seidl, I love it! Pass the kugel and the manischewitz!
Come on by; I have declared a Leek Winner!
Ive always loved bubble and squeak, and this sounds a delightful addition to the combinations that can be used. Yumsville!
