A Boxing Day classic reinvented, these Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes are the ideal way to use up all your Christmas dinner leftovers – especially the leftover Brussels sprouts!

Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes

Hands up who makes too much food on Christmas day? Me, me, me!! I always make too much – partly because I want to make sure everyone has enough, partly because I always forget that all the snacking on Christmas morning, means no-one is very hungry – but also because too much food on Christmas Day, means lots of delicious things to eat on Boxing Day.

One of my favourite things to make with Christmas dinner leftovers are these delicious, and oh so easy Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes.

Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes

Simply mash together leftover sprouts (or any other leftover vegetables) and leftover mashed or roast potatoes. Shape into cakes, dust with a little flour and fry in butter or oil.

These Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes make  delicious meal in their own right served with salad or baked beans. Alternatively they make a great side dish to sausages or leftover cold meats.

They are also a great make-ahead dish. Simply shape them and put them in the fridge, ready to fry later. Alternatively fry them in advance and warm through for 15-20 minutes in the oven at 180C / 160C fan / gas mark 4 / 350F.

These Leftover Sprouts Bubble and Squeak Cakes also freeze beautifully!

    I always make too much too. Then again I think it is all the yummy leftovers you get to eat after that also help to make Christmas time special. Love sprouts and bubble and squeak so these get my thumbs up. Thank you for linking to #CookBlogShare

      Thanks Jacqui – I do agree that leftovers is one of the best parts about Christmas. Bubble and squeak with leftover roasties and sprouts (plus any other leftover veggies) is a big favourite in the Gargano house. Makes a lovely simple dinner with some sausages and baked beans, or leftover roast turkey! Eb x

    These sound yummy and as they use leftover potato too they really are a great way to use up any leftovers! They’d be just perfect for me for lunch one day. I tend to eat more sprouts than anyone else in our house and I’m the only one who likes mashed potato too so whenever I make it there are always leftovers! Thanks for sharing with #CookOnceEatTwice x

      Thanks Corina – yes they are such a great way of using up leftovers, but also you can make them ahead of time and then reheat. I find it so funny that our family don’t like mashed potatoes!? What is there not to like??? I think mashed potatoes is probably one of my favourite foods. Perfect comfort food – especially at this time of year!! Ah well – all the more for you!! Eb x
