After potatoes are cooked, add cheese and remaining margarine (no milk!) and mash like making mashed potatoes. In a 9 x 13 pan, layer: 1/3 of onions on bottom, layer of noodles, 1/3 of potatoes. Repeat layers ending with mashed potatoes. Top with parmesan cheese and pepper. Bake at 350F for 30 - 35 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Bubble and Squeak
(cabbage and potatoes)

equal parts chopped cabbage and mashed potatoes
salt and pepper to taste
a bit of oil for frying

Cook the chopped cabbage in boiling salted water for 5-10 minutes and drain.

Mix the cooked cabbage with the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Put a spoon full of the potato and cabbage mixture in the pan and flatten a bit with your spatula. Let cook over medium heat until lightly browned. Flip over and cook till the other side is browned. (I some times use sea food seasoning) Serve immediately.
