"Bubble and squeak" is a traditional English dish made with potatoes and some leftover vegetables from a previous meal, usually cabbage, but carrots, peas, brussels sprouts, and other vegetables can be added. It is so called from its bubbling up and squeaking while it cooks.
Recipe adapted from Delicious Magazine

I always wondered what Bubble and Squeak was. Thanks for the interesting and informative post. It looks healthy and delicious!
Nice photos...love the colour
I thought of having either bubble and squeak or bangers and mash for dinner tomorrow. Will have to see what I can 'catch' at the butcher... :D
the name is so cute.
this is great,angie,looks perfect for a meal!
Yum! I love bubble and squeak but yours looks really special, love the addition of avocado and rocket.
I like your healthy patties, Angie. Your ingredients always surprise me.
Looks like a delicious ham cake. Yum. We would be honored you considered sharing this posting on Food Frenzy. http://blogstew.net/foodfrenzy
Now this is something I have never heard of before, but would try (and I'm sure LOVE) in an instant!!
Those avocados just look so perfect on top!!
The crispy cakes look great on the arugula, and the avocado on top looks delicious! This is a great way to present bubble and squeak!
This looks amazing. It's so funny because I was just watching Jamie at Home last night and he was making exactly this -- bubble and squeak, and I thought it looked so delicious and intriguing. I've got to make this some time. :-p
Looks so healthy and delicious.
this is by far the best looking bubble and squeak I have ever seen - I would have a hard time not putting a poached egg on top of all this deliciousness - but then again thats just me.
I'm going for more healthy meals and this comes at the right time. I've bookmarked many healthy and delicious from you Angie. Thanks for sharing :)
this looks so tempting love the pictures!
It's really amusing seeing a dish named as Bubble and Squeak! It looks really yummy, love the avocado. Beautiful picture.
What a beautiful name to call a dish:D I like the way you plated this too! The avocado looks very fresh!
That is so interesting! And it looks really yummy!
I think this is the prettiest version of this dish I've ever seen! Love the addition of avocado!

I had never heard of Bubble and Squeak until now, this is a fantastic way to reinvent your leftovers! Usually they can be so drab but I don't think you'd ever know and I love the freshness of the avocado. DO you just use whole cooked potatoes, because we usually have mashed around here. I think the texture might make it a bit different.
dish looks so professional, like in restaurants, great
Very inviting and delicious dish..
oh i adore your pro presentation it looks stunning!
You have the best recipes, this looks scrumptious...the pics give it life too!
I have been looking for good bubble and squeak recipe coz i tried it for the first time at my local cafe here in Melbourne and fell in love straight away. Looks like this is just the recipe I need. Thanks for sharing angie.
I always wondered what Bubble and Squeak was. I never looked it up - but knew it had to do with potatoes and cabbage...
Delicious fried into cakes - with or without avocado.... but, everything is better with avocado!
:)

This looks really good. Love bubble and squeak though I haven't had it for a while... :( Love the addition of avocado here.
I haven't had bubble and squeak in years, probably because they are never as sophisticated as your version. Love the fan of avocado on top :)
I was watching Jamie Oliver making Bubble and Squeak just the other day. Yours looks a delight! I simply have to try it. I like the idea of brussel sprouts rather than cabbage.
Really a great presentation!
This is this prettiest bubble and squeak ever...love the look/presentation...just gorgeous!
This is the first time I have ever heard of anything like this. It sounds so different and delicious! I love just about anything that contains avacado!
Angie...this is such a lovely English dish...simple yet delicious :) Thanks for sharing, I know I will want to try this out...soon :)
Gong Xi Fat Cai to you and family. May the year brings you health, happiness and prosperity :)

This patty with all the healthy veggies, and bits of ham, topped with the gorgeous slices of avocado is way over the top!

This looks great. I've never had anything called bubble and squeak, I was afraid with a name like that it would be icky. But it's so elegant and the avacado on top is right up my alley.

I love bubble and squeak!!!! But with avocado? Genius! You crazy delicous woman - you're probably one of the few people who could make me eat brussel sprouts.... and like it LOL
Very interesting. I have never seen this dish, but it sure sounds and looks delicious...definitely something I would enjoy:)
I've had this but never made it. I love how you present it and I am going to give it a go! It's colorful, it's filling, you can play with it - it has all my favorite attributes.
Your bubble and squeak looks just amazing. What a fantastic treat.
Angie, your pictures are stunning. I will definitely be topping my bubble and squeak with avocado from now on!
I love this dish, it looks so great!
I learned of bubble and squeak through my husband and have grown to really enjoy it. I love how you gave it a healthy kick with the avocado and salad greens. I am trying that the next time!
Mmmmm, I'd love to eat this on a bun like a burger:)
