Baked Bubble and Squeak

Not too many people know what bubble and squeak is, but essentially it is a skillet casserole made of potatoes and cabbage mixed together into a sort of flat cake. Typically it is cooked on a stove-top and flipped like a pancake, however this would also mean using egg to make it stay together and I did not want to do that. Instead I omitted the egg added some more potato and baked it in the oven until it was browned. It was tasty and very filling, and is also delicious the next day! Not too mention it also can help in using any leftover mashed potatoes.
