Quantities are the original recipe’s. The cost is our own estimate — typical own-brand supermarket prices for these quantities, divided by 4 servings. TheMealDB does not state how many a dish serves, so 4 is our assumption, not theirs. Treat it as “about this much a head”, not a shopping bill.
Method
- Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a fairly high heat.
- Add the bacon and fry until it starts to brown.
- Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
- Tip in the sliced Brussels sprouts and let everything colour a little; this whole stage should take 5-6 mins.
- Add the potatoes and mash them roughly into the mixture in the pan.
- Press the mixture flat so it covers the base of the pan and leave it to catch slightly underneath.
- Turn it over in sections and press down again, letting the other side catch too.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot from the pan.
