Bubble & squeak with sausages & onion gravy
Bubble and squeak is a classic British dish of smashed-up winter veg, traditionally made from the Sunday roast leftovers. Use about 60 per cent potato to get the right consistency, then whatever veg you like – carrots, Brussels, swedes, turnips, onions, leeks or Savoy cabbage.
