3. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Pour the potatoes back into the saucepan and mash.
4. Mix the mashed potatoes and cabbage together. Add black pepper to taste.
5. Using a large metal spoon, make ‘rounds’ of bubble and squeak.
6. Coat in the flour.
7. Fry in the oil for 5-6 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden brown.
