    These were good, but a little bland. I dusted mine with paprika after cooking and that helped. After reading the other reviews, I added 1/4 cup of flour along with the breadcrumbs and did not have a problem with them falling apart. I added a little oil to the pan with each batch, so they were never sitting in oil and never got greasy. Overall, I like the addition of leeks to the potato pancakes, I will just add more spices next time to give them a little punch.

    Leek Fritters (Prassokeftedes), A wonderful meze or side dish or even vegetarian main dish Delicious with Recipe #59951 From The Glorious Food of Greece , These were good, but a little bland I dusted mine with paprika after cooking and that helped After reading the other reviews, I added 1/4 cup of flour along with the breadcrumbs and did not have a problem with them falling apart I added a little oil to the pan with each batch, so they were never sitting in oil and never got greasy Overall, I like the addition of leeks to the potato pancakes, I will just add more spices next time to give them a little punch , Very nice, very easy Used a leftover baked potato, and microwaved the leek, rather than steaming Used a non-stick pan, and minimal oil Deep fried would have been even better – but not on our diets
