Categories     Potato

Time 30m

Yield 12 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 medium potatoes, peeled
2 large leeks, trimmed and rinsed
50 g butter
100 ml milk
oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes.
  • Meanwhile, slice the leeks thinly and make sure you wash off any dirt from in between the layers.
  • Melt the butter in a shallow pan and cook the leeks over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan and then take off the heat.
  • When the potatoes are tender, drain and mash, pouring in the warm milk as you go.
  • Stop adding milk when the consistency is thick enough to make into patties. You don't want a sloppy mash.
  • Stir in the leeks, season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
  • Shape into rough patties.
  • Warm oil in a shallow pan and slide in the patties.
  • Let them take on a golden colour, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Like out and drain on kitchen paper.

These cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less butter next time.

These cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices next time.

I'm not a huge fan of leeks, but these cakes were surprisingly good. The potatoes and cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the leeks. I would definitely make these again.

These leek and potato cakes were absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.
