Step 3
Once mashed, shape the mixture into patties. This part can be especially fun if you’re cooking with kids – they love getting their hands messy!
Step 4
You can lightly oil the base of your air fryer, or place the patties on parchment paper in the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
Gently brush them with a little olive oil to get that perfect golden crispness.
Then, cook them at 200°C/390°F for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through. The air fryer is ideal for this recipe, as it cooks the patties evenly and gives them a delightful crispy texture without the need for deep frying.
🍽 What To Serve With Bubble and Squeak
Bubble and Squeak patties are incredibly versatile. Serve them as a delicious breakfast with a side of eggs, as a hearty lunch with a fresh salad, or even as a side for your dinner. They’re particularly great with a dollop of chutney or a spoonful of sour cream.
