Ingredients

  • 55g (2oz) unsalted butter
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 225g (8oz) cooked potato, mashed
  • 225g (8oz) cooked sliced Savoy or green cabbage
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp beef dripping

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan and cook the onions over a medium heat until softened but not brown, about 8 minutes.
  2. Fold the mash, cabbage and buttery onions together. Season with salt and plenty of pepper. Combine everything thoroughly.
  3. In the same pan that you cooked the onions in, melt the dripping and tip in the potato mix. Push the mix down to make a circular cake. Cook for 10 minutes over a medium heat without disturbing. Turn the cake over and then returning it to the pan. It should cook for a further 10 mins.
  4. Serve with grills, or as a dish in its own right with poached eggs and crispy bacon.
