England has bubble and squeak, Ireland colcannon and, in Scotland, this delicious fry-up of vegetables is called rumbledethumps. The dish is popular in the Scottish border regions, but you can easily make it at home wherever you are.
This rumbledethumps recipe is based on a classic recipe from Sue Lawrence, one of Scotland's most famous cooks and food writers. Sue's recipe is classic and works every time. It's also easy to adjust to your tastes and preferences, too.
For this rumbledethumps recipe, you can use leftover mashed potato and swede (also known as turnip or tatties and neeps) if you have some handy or cook from fresh. The beauty of the dish is it can be made the day before and heated up. Then all it needs alongside is a hearty stew, or, if you prefer to eat it on its own, try it with a fried egg on top.

Add the cooked cabbage or kale to the bowl of potato and swede along with the remaining butter and mash together thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Potato can soak up salt, so be generous with it to add a good flavor.

Place the mashed vegetables in an ovenproof baking dish, sprinkle the cheese on top, cover with a lid or aluminum foil, and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until heated right through.

Tips
- To make mashed potatoes and turnips, peel and cube the vegetables and add them to a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until both veggies are fork-tender. Drain and mash well.
- Make it the day before and heat it up—perfect for those days when you're in a hurry.
- The beauty of this dish is that you do not have to worry about the quantities. If you are using leftovers, then what you have will dictate the recipe. Everyone has their own version, so adjust the recipe to suit your tastes.
