Method

1. 1 If you managed to get through all of you Christmas veggies, then simply boil the potatoes and raw vegetables together in a large pan of salted water for 20 minutes.
2. 2 Once cooked through, drain and put to one side to steam dry.
3. 3 If you’re using leftover veg, then you can add these directly to the cooked potatoes or to Christmas Day’s roast potatoes.
4. 4 Chop the potatoes and vegetables into chunks and add to the leftover turkey.
5. 5 Season well and mash together, making the mixture as smooth or chunky as you like, before adding a whisked egg and then moulding into small cakes.
6. 6 Top tip: Use wet hands to shape the mixture, so it doesn’t clump together on your fingers.
7. 7 If you have goose fat leftover from Christmas, then heat in a pan.
8. 8 Otherwise, a knob of butter of a splash of oil will do.
9. 9 Fry the cakes for 3-4 minutes each side, or until golden brown all over – and don’t forget to listen out for that trademark bubble and squeak sound!
10. 10 Serve the cakes on their own or with a dollop of cranberry sauce for a really festive feel.
