It seems everyone has a version of doctored mashed potatoes. My sister makes garlic mashed potatoes to die for but won’t part with the recipe… bad sister.
The British have a dish called Bubble and Squeak. They will use leftover mashed potatoes from Sunday dinner; mix it cabbage for lunch on Mondays. I have yet to make this dish; I am still looking for a recipe… If anyone has one please email it to me or message it to me on Facebook.
The recipe below would be wonderful with steak, prime rib or even lamb.
