Instructions
- Clean leeks: Split the leeks lengthways and wash them under running water to remove all the grit. Drain the excess liquid and chop the leeks into thin slices.
- Cook leeks - Place the leeks in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the leeks are tender. Drain in a colander to remove excess moisture.
- Potatoes - Peel and chop potatoes into small cubes. Place them in cold water and bring them to a boil. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until fork-tender. Then, mash the potatoes with a fork or potato ricer.
- Combine - In a bowl, combine the drained leeks, mashed potatoes, and all the remaining ingredients. (eggs, onions, garlic powder, spices, herbs, cheese, salt, and pepper)
- Shape the patties: Take a golf ball-sized amount of mixture in your hands and shape it into a ball. Flatten the ball on your palm. Shape the sides.
- Chill - Place these in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap, for 15 minutes up to 2 days, until you're ready to serve. You can also freeze these for up to a month.
- Pan-fry - Add one tablespoon of oil to a saute pan over medium-high heat. Place the patties in hot oil and shallow fry. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Cream cheese dip: Combine all ingredients in a bowl well. Serve cold or at room temperature.
