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 a fan of fried food, but these fried leeks were surprisingly light and crispy. I'll definitely be making them again.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The fried leeks are always crispy and flavorful.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fried leeks didn't turn out crispy. They were more like soggy leeks.

These fried leeks are a great way to use up leftover leeks. I always have a bunch of leeks in my fridge, and this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.

The leeks were a bit bland. I think I'll add some salt and pepper next time.

These fried leeks were a bit too oily for my taste. I'll try them again with less oil next time.

Absolutely delicious! The leeks were crispy and flavorful. I served them as a side dish with grilled salmon and roasted vegetables, and they were a hit with the whole family.
