  I used cabbage instead of the sprouts as that is what I had in the fridge. It was delicious!

  A lovely side dish, comforting and delicious. You have to be careful not to make the mixture too wet though, or the cakes collapse in the oven.

  Fantastic recipe real comfort food for the winter months goes with so many things! I used savoy cabbage instead of sprouts and added some finely sliced spring onions to the mix. Make a double batch and use some and freeze the rest. Freezes beautifully just make sure the mix isnt too wet.

  tried this too, diced garlic sausage and finely chopped spring onion, also works really well with small cubed pieces of tinned corned beef.

  My Mum has made similar for years! Although hers were to use up all the leftover from a roast! Add sprouts/cabbage, carrots, swede, leeks, peas (mushy peas are my favorite in this!) in fact any veg you have leftover, chop up and add to mash and cook in the same way, it probably sounds very strange to most but i have even been known to chop up the leftover Yorkshire puds and chuck em in - lovely!!

  Just made these - added some stilton to the top of each one just before the re-heating step - so it melted on the top - delicious!

  OK, good recipe - I made this with sprouts, peas, sliced spring onions, a little grated red leicester, plenty of black pepper and a dollop of dijon mustard (that's my secret for perfect bubble and squeak - the mustard really makes this dish!).

  Not too bad, mine were a little bland. Will try other suggestions next time and perhaps a bit more seasoning. Great for freezing!

  Nice recipe for an old favourite. Just thinking about melissa's comment, I always have a bit of a problem with the potato cake type recipes. They always seem to not crisp up and they fall apart if I add too much butter to stop them sticking. I think it's because I don't have a non-stick frying pan.

  Great nice use for left over brussels. A little bland though I added a bit of parmesan second time around.
