Dinner Recipe: Leek Potato Pancakes
Servings: 6
Taste of Home ~ Step by Step
I received this recipe from my great-grandmother. She brought this over from England, where they enjoyed leeks immensely during the fall and winter.
Recipe by: Suzanne Kesel ~ Cohocton, New York
-
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound russet potatoes, peeled and quartered (about 1 large)
- 2 pounds medium leeks (white portion only), thinly sliced
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup canola oil, divided
- Optional: Sour cream, apple sauce and chopped chives
- Place potato quarters in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender, adding leeks during the last 3 minutes. Drain.
- Transfer potatoes and leeks to a large bowl; mash with eggs, bread crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls into oil. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed. Drain pancakes on paper towels. If desired, serve with sour cream and apple sauce, and top with chopped chives.
- Serve and enjoy!

Dessert Recipe: Kołaczki (Polish filled cookies)
Servings: 5 dozen
The Polish Housewife ~ Step by Step
Recipes know no borders, Kołaczki (Polish filled cookies) are popular in Poland as well as the Czech Republic, Russia, Austria, Denmark, and probably more places.
As you might expect there are multiple spellings for this pastry, but Kołaczki is the Polish name.
Recipe by: Lois Britton
-
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 1/2 cups butter
- 3 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- (1) 1-1/2 cups filling, such as fruit preserves or jam, nut or poppy seed filling
- Cream the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy
- Stir in flour and salt
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for an hour
- Preheat oven to 350
- Roll out the dough by first dusting the surface (mat or countertop) with granular sugar
- Roll to 1/8 inch and cut into 2-inch squares. I used a fluted pastry cutter to get the zig-zap along the edge of the cookies.
- Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square
- Fold over opposite corners and seal well
- Bake for 15 minutes or until corners just begin to brown
- Cool on a rack and dust with powdered sugar
Preparation Instructions:
NOTE: To make your own fruit filling, combine 3/4 cup dried apricots (or other dried fruit), 1 1/2 cups water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a sauce pan. Simmer until the fruit is tender, approximately 15 minutes, cools and mash or purée with an immersion blender or food processor.
