1st tried this at Greenfield Village’s Eagle Tavern

Source: Two Fat Ladies

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Cold cooked potatoes
  • 2 oz. Lard
  • 1 Onion -- finely chopped
  • 8 oz. cooked cabbage or sprouts -- chopped
  • Salt
  • Black pepper -- freshly ground

Directions

  1. Finely chop the potatoes and crush slightly. In a frying pan melt half the fat and lightly fry the onion.

  2. Mix in the potato and greens and season well. (I actually find it works better to cook the cabbage until it wilts 1st, then add the potatoes)

  3. Add more dripping or lard. Press the bubble into the hot fat and fry over a moderate heat until browned underneath.

  4. Turn the bubble over, add the last of the fat and fry until the other side is browned.
