Leek And Potato Cakes

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, slice the leeks thinly and make sure you wash off any dirt from in between the layers.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   Bring the milk to a boil in a small saucepan and then take off the heat.

5. 5

   When the potatoes are tender, drain and mash, pouring in the warm milk as you go.

6. 6

   Stop adding milk when the consistency is thick enough to make into patties. You don't want a sloppy mash.

7. 7

   Stir in the leeks, season with salt and pepper and set aside to cool.

8. 8

   Shape into rough patties.

9. 9

   Warm oil in a shallow pan and slide in the patties.
