Fried Leeks (Garnish) image

We like these on all kinds of burgers and fried or baked fish. And potatoes. And garlic bread. And beef. And mushrooms and other veggies. Or atop a salad. (OKAY, already, Sandi!) I have to make at least twice as much as I need to garnish a dish since I eat half of what I make while cooking. And why shouldn't I? I'm cooking! Be sure to stay close when frying leeks because they will burn quickly just to tick you off. The repercussions of an angry leek is just not something you really get over, you know?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fried leeks turned out soggy instead of crispy.

These fried leeks were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more seasoning next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fried leeks didn't turn out as crispy as I had hoped. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
