Bubble and Squeak (potato pancake)

Here is a low-fat version of a recipe I found in the Encyclopedia of Vegetarian Cooking. The traditional version of this dish is served as a breakfast food in England.  There are a variety of vegetables that could be used to flavor the  potatoes.

1 lb potatoes (I like to use the yellow kind)
1 large carrot, grated
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup thinly sliced boc choy or nappa cabbage
1 teaspoon vegetable base
Cooking Spray

Boil the potatoes in water until soft, remove skins. Mash
Heat a pan and spray with cooking spray.  Stir fry the carrot, cabbage and onion until soft.  Stir in the vegetable base to coat.

Mix the vegetables and the potatoes together thoroughly. Spray a good sized nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Spread the potato mixture in the pan and cook until the bottom starts to brown.  Carefully flip the potato onto a plate, and then return it to the pan with the other side down. Heat that until slightly browned.  Carefully remove to a plate.  Cut like a pizza and serve.

I served this with a side order of peas, and a nice crisp apple.  It is a filling dinner, but doesn't have much protein.  Good for when you had beans or tofu earlier in the day.
