I have an obsession with roast dinners. They’re not just for Sundays or special occasions in my house, it’s quite a regular meal. And when I do make a roast, I always make more than I need – that way I get to enjoy these bubble and squeak cakes the next day!
They take just 2 minutes to prepare and make a delicious breakfast, brunch or as a side for dinner time.
These cakes are, of course, delicious fried too. I choose to bake them not only because it’s a much healthier option but also it mean I can just bung them in the oven and forget about them for 25 minutes, instead of standing over a pan.
I recommend serving them with veggie sausages and some onion gravy!

The most delicious way to use up leftover roast vegetables!
Ingredients
- Leftover roast veg, at least half of them should be potatoes - white or sweet
- optional 1 small diced onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200c. and line a baking tray with paper or foil.
- Tip your leftover veg into a food processor and mix for a few seconds. The mixture should be chunky but should hold together when you shape them into patties.
- Roll them into balls, then flatten them slightly before placing them on the baking tray.
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with veggie sausages and gravy!

I like a poached egg and hot chilli sauce with these!
After cooking these and letting them cool if I freeze them will I have to defrost before reheating to eat or can I cook from frozen?
Hi Nicola, I think you could cook them straight from frozen in the oven. You might need to give them 30-40 minutes though.
Hi – i’m a huge fan of bubble and squeak, if there are no leftovers from a roast then I’m lost.
Can these be reheated in a microwave – thinking perfect xmas’y bring a dish for work but we dont have an oven?
Yes! I have reheated these before and it works well. Enjoy :)
Such a good idea, these look delicious!
Thanks Gwen! They are so ridiculously delicious!
How did I live until now without knowing about these delicious little cakes?!?!
I have no idea, Mariana. That’s no life at all. You must try some immediately!
These cakes look soo delicious! I love roast dinners as well and I always have leftovers. This is perfect for that!
Absolutely! Like I say, it’s almost my main reason for making roasts in the first place :-)
Omg! My Mum I’d going to looove these :D nice & simple & easy for my poorly bod to eat, thank you :) xx
Glad to hear it, Laura! Let me know if you get to try it :D
I love these Aimee! Boxing Day Dinner is one of our favourites since we fry up all the left-over veggies in a pan but I’ve never baked them as cakes in the oven, I’ll have to try this idea.
Actually this was my first time baking instead of frying it too. I wasn’t sure how well it would work but was delighted with how it’s turned out! Such a lovely texture :-)
