Gluten Free Bubble and Squeak Patties

Gluten free Bubble and Squeak Patties is an appetizer version of the British potato and cabbage dish called Bubble and Squeak. As soon as I buy a whole cabbage I'm looking for ways to use up what I didn't need. Since everyone loves fried potatoes this recipe is always one I think of.

Created to use up leftover mashed potatoes and vegetables, the name of this dish comes from the bubbling and squeaking sounds heard during the cooking process. These are similar to potato pancakes made with mashed potatoes or latkes made with grated potato.

My Scottish Heritage

My husband and I both have ancestors from Scotland and England but I feel most connected to Scotland. During our visit to the Orkney Isles many years ago we were introduced to local specialties including haggis, neeps and tatties, fish and chips, mushy peas, lager shandy and of course Scottish shortbread cookies. I don't specifically remember having Bubble and Squeak but this is the appetizer we chose to represent our heritage for an Around The World Pot Luck dinner.

Around The World Themed Potluck

The dinner theme was any dish that represents your heritage. It was a fun idea and the diverse selection of dishes created a lot of interesting conversation. Our hosts were appropriately dressed; one in her embroidered Ukrainian folk shirt and the other in his Bavarian Lederhosen. She served her mom's recipe for cabbage rolls, both regular and sour, while he cooked up the famous Swiss potato dish, rösti. Other selections included Swedish meatballs, Indonesian Gado Gado, East Indian samosas, French Canadian tourtiere and these Bubble and Squeak Patties. One of the talented teenage cooks in this crowd brought a beautiful Italian dessert, sfogliatelle. (Way to go Sophia!)

Dressing up wasn't mandatory but two dedicated sports fans wore their jerseys. One soccer fan cheering for Scotland, and a French Canadian in his Montreal Canadiens hockey jersey.  Go Habs!

Instructions

• Put potatoes in saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, put lid on and cook until soft, 10-12 minutes. Drain well and mash. Transfer to a large bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Put grated cabbage and carrot in a saucepan. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, put lid on and cook until soft, 5-7 minutes. Drain well and let cool. Add to potatoes.
• Add all remaining ingredients to potato mixture and stir.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Using a metal portion scoop measure mixture onto baking sheet. A scoop that holds 2 tablespoons will make 32 patties.
• Heat oil in large frying pan on medium-high heat. Fry potato cakes until well browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed.
• Top with sour cream and green onions. Serve.

Notes

*Grated onion is essential as finely chopped onion doesn’t have time to cook fully.
