Delia Smith's Brussels Bubble & Squeak

Brussels bubble and squeak: The more crusty and brown it goes the better we like it.

1. 1

   Use a medium-sized, heavy frying pan.
   
   Chop the sprouts quite finely and combine them with the mashed potato, seasoning well. Now take a medium frying pan and melt the turkey dripping in it over a high heat.
   
   When it's really hot, pile in the potato mixture, using a palette knife to spread it all over the base of the pan and patting it down quite firmly.
   
   Then turn the heat down to medium. What you're aiming at here is a lovely crisp golden crust, which will take about 7 minutes on the first side.
   
   Then place a plate on top of the frying pan and, using a cloth to protect your hand, invert it, turning the pan over so the bubble and squeak settles on the plate.
   
   Now put the pan back on the heat and use a palette knife to slide and gently ease the mixture back into the pan to brown on the other side for about 5 minutes.
   
   Serve the bubble and squeak cut into thick wedges with cold cuts.
