Bubble and Squeak

Description
This classic dish originally contained beef along with the left-over cooked potatoes and cabbage, though today people don't generally bother with the meat. The name is apparently due to the sounds that are emitted during cooking, the vegetables bubble as they are boiled and then squeak in the frying pan.

 * finely chopped Potatoes - 450 g (1 lb),
 * cooked and mashed Cabbage - 225 g (8 oz),
