    Leek Fritters Keftikes De Prassa (P)

    List of Ingredients




    2 pounds leeks (whites and first 2 inches of green)
    2 large eggs
    1-2 cups mashed boiled potatoes
    1/2 cup matzo meal
    1 teaspoon salt
    Freshly ground black pepper
    Oil for sautéing
    Optional: 1 pound ground beef or turkey (omit oil in this case)

    Recipe



    Trim and carefully wash leeks, going between the layers to remove all sand and dirt. Slice the leeks thinly.

    Bring 2 quarts of salted water to boil. Parboil the leeks 3 minutes. (Leeks can also be parboiled in the microwave in just enough salted water to come to the top of the vegetables. Cook, covered, 2 minutes.) Drain, chop and place leeks in mixing bowl. Combine leeks with all remaining ingredients except oil, adding enough potato and matzo meal until batter is thick enough to form patties.

    Heat 1/2 inch oil in 12-inch skillet. Form a patty out of cup of the leek mixture. Place in sizzling oil; repeat until you have three or four patties cooking. Sauté on both sides until golden, turning only once during cooking. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; repeat until leek mixture is used.

    Makes 8 to 10 servings.
