Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Melt half the butter with 1 tbsp of the oil in a 24 cm (10 in) non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and fry until soft and lightly golden, 6-8 min.

  3. 3

    Roughly chop the cabbage, add it to the pan and fry until it starts to colour at the edges, 3-4 min.

  4. 4

    Tip the onion and cabbage into a bowl with the mashed potato, season well with salt and pepper and mix together.

  5. 5

    Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Spoon in the mixture and press it into a flat cake about 3 cm thick.

  6. 6

    Cook without stirring until a dark golden crust forms underneath, 6-8 min. Press down on it now and then.

  7. 7

    Put a large plate over the pan and turn the cake out onto it.

  8. 8

    Melt the remaining butter in the pan and slide the cake back in, browned side up.

  9. 9

    Cook until the second side is crisp and golden, 5-6 min. Cut into wedges and serve hot.
