Nowadays, we normally leave out the meat and just use potatoes and a range of vegetables, depending on what you have leftover from your roast dinner.Īccording to Britannica, the name originates from the sound of the ingredients “bubbling & squeaking” on the fire when they were fried. Traditionally it was a dish made of leftover meat, potatoes and vegetables, normally cabbage, all mashed together and fried. My version is vegan, dairy, egg and gluten free too! Jump to:

They make a great brunch dish, as do my egg-free courgette & sweetcorn fritters. They are also packed so full of flavour that the adults will love them as well! The whole family will love these! They are a great toddler food as the veg is hidden if you have fussy eaters and are soft and easy to eat. The thing I always do when making a roast dinner, is make double the amount of potatoes and vegetables that I need, so I can make these bubble & squeak cakes the next day. Tender meat, crispy roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, oodles of veg, like roasted carrots and green beans, then lashings of gravy! I’m salivating just thinking about it. I think a roast dinner has to be one of my favourite ever meals. A great way to use up those roast dinner leftovers, these Bubble & Squeak Cakes are made with leftover potatoes and vegetables and are also egg and gluten free!
