per the instructions you need to "heat a teflon or silverstone pan." Yeah right, like my Irish grandmother owned a teflon pan. come on. I thought this dish used corned beef or sausages - not ham. I wouldn't bother with this recipe.

The Bubble and Squeak that my mother used to make was with left over corned beef, potatoes, carrots, onion and cabbage, like an enhanced Corn Beef Hash. The cabbage really adds to it!
