If you’re cooking them fresh, make sure to drain them really well. Sweet potato is less starchy than regular potatoes, so it works particular well when they are genuine leftovers and have had chance to dry out a bit. I started off with one large sweet potato, which had been cooked the day before. You can make a start on reducing food waste and saving money by using your leftovers to make me twist on classic bubble and squeak… How to make spicy sweet potato and spinach bubble and squeak I love the look of their eight winter salads, especially the beetroot one. The website is definitely worth a look as it has some great recipes for using up leftovers, tips on freezing food properly – loads of useful stuff. A big part of that is helping families make better use of their leftovers – which is where you come in!
Sainsbury’s is passionate about helping families waste less, and save more, which is why they’ve invested £10 million in helping shoppers reduce food waste at home.
In fact, the average British family wastes £700 per year on food that could have been eaten, but is thrown away instead, that’s around £60 a month. Not only is this a huge problem for our environment, but families are throwing away money along with food. To bring this to life, that includes 5.8 million potatoes, almost 6 million glasses of milk and an astonishing 24 million slices of bread everyday! Households in the UK waste a mind blowing 15 million tonnes of food and drink every year. Sainsbury’s is on a bit of a mission to reduce food waste too, with their #WasteLessSaveMore initiative. This afternoon for example I’m leaving work early to make four steak and ale pies for the freezer (never done that before) because I have all the ingredients but we are going to my mum’s for tea. Then I remember that I’m only home one night in the next four, and wonder what I’m going to do with it all. I’ve rediscovered the joy on online food shopping you see, which means I get all over excited and order loads of things for actual recipes. Since I upgraded my phone though, and no longer have to delete Twitter just to take a photo, food waste has become a bit more of an issue. I’m actually pretty good at this, mainly because I’m so slack at doing the shopping in the first place that I never have enough in the fridge for dinner, let alone for leftovers. I’ll just tell you what I did, and then you can copy it, or have a look in the fridge and switch in other ingredients. I don’t want you to look in the fridge and think ‘Oh, I’ve only got two leftover sweet potatoes, so I definitely can’t make this…’ I’m a bit loathe to call this a recipe, as the whole point of bubble and squeak is to use up leftovers.
