Elevated potato patties packed with flavor and perfect for Passover lunch or as an appetizer. Made with potatoes, leeks, and a variety of flavorful ingredients, these patties are deliciously crispy.
1: Start by boiling your potatoes in a pot of water until soft enough to mash.
2: Meanwhile, heat a pan to medium high heat and add 2 tbsp of oil. Sauté your leeks until brown and caramelized.
3: Place potatoes in a mixing bowl and mash using a potato masher. Add leeks. Let it sit until it cools down enough to handle.
4: Add eggs, jalapeño, grated carrot, cilantro, crushed garlic, mayo, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
5: Heat a pan to medium high heat. Add enough oil to cover the surface. Form patties of about 3 tbsp and gently place in the hot oil.
6: Once the patty could release itself from the oil, flip and let it cook on the other side.
7: Once nicely browned, transfer to a wire rack to cool.
