Best Leek Kale And Potato Latkes Recipes

POTATO LEEK LATKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine potatoes and leek in a food processor; process until mashed. Add eggs, flaxseed meal, and salt; pulse until incorporated.
• Spoon potato mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Flatten gently into 3-inch circles. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until Parmesan cheese is melted and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

SLOW COOKER POTATO, LEEK, AND KALE GRATIN WITH TOO MUCH CHEESE

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to the sauté function. Add the oil and, once hot, add the leek and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the kale and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the leek is soft. Gently scoop into a bowl. Line the slow cooker with a sheet of baking paper, working carefully as it will be hot.
• Add the cream, stock and cheeses to a bowl and use a fork to combine.
• Arrange one-third of the potato slices over the bottom of the lined bowl, overlapping them slightly. Pour in one-third of the cream mixture and sprinkle with one-third of the leek mixture. Season and repeat the process until all the ingredients have been used.
• You should get three decent layers of cheesy potato goodness. Close the lid and cook on high for 4 hours.
• Check the liquid at the 3-hour mark. If there is a lot of liquid remaining, leave the lid off for the last hour of cooking. If, at 4 hours, there is still too much liquid, remove the lid and, if your cooker has it, hit the reduce function, or simply the sauté function, and cook for 2-5 minutes. This will quickly get rid of any excess moisture.
• Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes in the slow cooker before gently removing. If you try to cut it when still hot, it tends to go everywhere. Alternatively, scoop the gratin straight from the bowl onto the plate. It might not look amazing, but it's the kind of dish that is here for a good time, not a long time.
• Season generously with salt and pepper and serve. Eat wearing stretchy pants; you are going to need them.

HERBED POTATO LATKES WITH KALE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater and transfer to a large colander set over a bowl. Grate the onion and add to the colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Firmly squeeze the mixture with your hands to extract as much liquid as possible; blot dry on paper towels if especially wet. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the kale, chives and dill and toss to combine. Add the flour and egg and stir until thoroughly combined.
• Working with 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time, form tightly packed pancakes about 2 inches wide and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, fry the pancakes until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and put in the oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining pancakes.
• Serve with sour cream.
