Time 1h

Yield 16 large latkes

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 leeks (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
1 large onion, peeled and diced
6 cloves garlic, or to taste, peeled and diced
4 shallots, peeled and diced
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 bunch cilantro (about 1 cup), diced
2 large eggs
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup bread crumbs or matzoh meal, plus 1/3 cup for coating

Steps:

  • Cut leeks lengthwise, and wash them well to remove any grit. Dice the leeks, and either steam them or place them in boiling salted water for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain leeks well, pressing them in a dish towel to remove any excess water.
  • Heat oil in nonstick frying pan, and add onion, garlic and shallots. Saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place pine nuts on a baking pan, and toast for a few minutes until evenly browned.
  • Place leeks, onion, garlic, shallots, pine nuts, cilantro, eggs and cheese in a mixing bowl, and blend well, adding salt and pepper to taste. Add about 1/2 cup bread crumbs, or enough to bind.
  • Take about 1/4 cup of the leek mixture, and make a patty 2 inches in diameter. Coat patty with bread crumbs, and repeat with remaining mixture.
  • Coat a nonstick frying pan thinly with remaining olive oil, and fry the patties for a few minutes on each side. (For cocktail-size patties, use 1 teaspoon of mixture.) Drain on paper towels.

These latkes were delicious! I used a combination of russet and Yukon Gold potatoes, and they turned out perfectly crispy.

These latkes were a hit with my family! They're crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The leeks add a nice depth of flavor.
