Potato Leek Feta Patties Food

SIMPLE VEGETARIAN LEEK PATTIES

Steps:

• Halve leek lengthwise and rinse under running water. Separate the layers to remove any sand. Cut each half down the centre and thinly slice.
• Place leeks in a pot and add enough water so that leeks float but are not covered. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain off excess water and return leeks to the pot.
• Return the pot to the stove and simmer until all excess liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer leeks to a bowl and add egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions.
• Heat enough oil in a nonstick skillet to just cover the bottom. Heat on medium-high heat until oil shimmers. Use wet hands to form each portion into a 3-inch patty.
• Place the patties into the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.

LEEK, CHEESE & POTATO PASTIES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water for 5-8 mins until tender, but still holding their shape. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the leeks and thyme and soften for 10-12 mins. Drain potatoes and add to the leeks with the mustard and plenty of seasoning. Stir in the cream and leave to cool a little.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. On a floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use a side plate or a bowl as a template to cut out 6 x 15cm circles. Mix the cheese with the leek mixture and pile a mound of the mix onto the centre of each pastry circle. Brush around edges with a little egg, then bring edges together and crimp with your fingers to seal.
• Place pasties on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, brush with the remaining egg and bake for 40-45 mins until golden brown. Serve warm or leave to cool.

EASY GREEK POTATO PATTIES WITH CREAMY FETA CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash the potatoes then place them with their skins in a pot with plenty of salted water and cook them until tender. Drain and let them cool slightly. Peel off their skin.
• Place the potatoes in a bowl and mash them with a potato masher or pass them through a potato ricer.
• To the bowl with the potatoes, add the Feta, parsley, mint, nutmeg, salt and pepper and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the egg and mix again. If the mixture is too loose to form patties, add some flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is solid. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Take the bowl out of the refrigerator and form small patties, about 2½". Place the patties on a large plate.
• In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil under medium-high heat.
• Flour both sides of the patties lightly and cook in the hot oil until golden brown. Turn and cook the second side too. If they brown too fast, lower the temperature. Add more oil to the skillet as necessary.
• Top with a few sliced green onions and serve warm with some Feta Cheese sauce on the side.
• For the Feta Cheese Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small food processor and mix until fairly smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. The sauce can keep in the fridge for a week and can also be used to top baked potatoes or in a salad dressing.
