For dinner that night I had some left over boiled cabbage and mashed potato, this was of course earmarked for bubble and squeak for the next day. But then I remembered that humble half can of corned beef in the fridge…

I love corned beef hash!

When two dishes collide they can create something wonderful. Maybe what I am about to tell you is already a thing, but I have never heard of it, even though it sounds the most obvious thing to do!

What better I thought than combine these two versions of fried leftover mashed potato and I must say my mouth started to water.

As all the ingredients are seasoned already all that was need was a little oil in a frying pan and then throw in the three delicious components.

I don’t bother mixing beforehand as I do it all in the pan as it cooks. I find doing it this way mixes in those crispy bits that make both bubble and squeak and hash taste so good. When a good crust appears at the bottom of the mix just mash it all together with a spatula or fish slice and keep doing the same and tasting until it has the perfect flavour for you.

It may not look the prettiest dish in the world (far from it in fact!), but it is such amazing comfort food and something I will definitely make again in the future.

The three ingredients complement each other so well and those amazing bits of crispy overcooked cabbage and corned beef really lift the basic flavour to something very, very special.

So what do you think? Would you give this a go?

Please tell me in the comments below, or tell me about any other fantastic clash of recipes that just work so, so well
