Bubble and Squeak Fritters with Hollandaise

Ingredients

- 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes

- 1 cup of chopped leftover cooked cabbage

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 1 clove of garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup of flour

- 1 egg

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Oil for frying

Instructions

To start, mix together your leftover mashed potatoes, chopped cabbage, onion, garlic, flour, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. The key to great fritters is making sure the mixture holds together, so adjust the flour as needed.

Once your fritter mixture is well combined, heat a bit of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Scoop out a spoonful of the mixture and shape it into a patty before gently placing it in the hot pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

While your fritters are cooking, whip up a quick and easy hollandaise sauce to drizzle on top. Simply whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of melted butter, whisking continuously, until the sauce is thick and creamy.

Once your fritters are golden and crispy, serve them up hot with a generous drizzle of hollandaise sauce on top. The creamy sauce pairs perfectly with the crunchy fritters, creating a mouthwatering combination that is sure to impress.
