Keftes De Prassa
3 cups leeks,
chopped 1 cup mashed potato
3 eggs
2 teaspoons consommé (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon White pepper
1 tablespoon matzah meal or potato starch Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying Wash and clean leeks thoroughly.
Chop leeks (I use food processor with slicing blade)
Cook leeks in boiling salted water. Drain and thoroughly squeeze out all water, Oln large bowl, mix leeks with remaining ingredients. Make small patties and pan fry in oil.
Makes about 40 patties.
Tips: must be sure all water is squeezed out of boiled leeks. If your mixture is too loose add one more tablespoon of matzah meal. Beat eggs with the consommé salt and pepper before adding to leek and potato mix. Make boiled leeks (drained and squeeze out water)and mashed potatoes ahead and keep in fridge a few days before mixing in other ingredients and frying. Or Make patties, fry them, freeze them and fry again day you want to use -to crisp up. Or simply warm in oven 400 degrees before serving.
