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.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cakes turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked them.

These cakes are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just reheat them when I'm ready to serve.

I thought these leek and potato cakes were just okay. They were a bit bland for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of leeks, but I really enjoyed these cakes. The potatoes and cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the leeks.

These leek and potato cakes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I added a bit of extra cheese and some chopped bacon, and they were even more delicious.
