Fried Leeks (Garnish)

"We like these on all kinds of burgers and fried or baked fish. And potatoes. And garlic bread. And beef. And mushrooms and other veggies. Or atop a salad. (OKAY, already, Sandi!) I have to make at least twice as much as I need to garnish a dish since I eat half of what I make while cooking. And why shouldn't I? I'm cooking! Be sure to stay close when frying leeks because they will burn quickly just to tick you off. The repercussions of an angry leek is just not something you really get over, you know?"

  1. These are fast, easy and oh so good. How did I not know how to do this before?!?
     
  2. Sandi these are fantastic! I made them last night and they barely made it to the dinner table! DH and I just had a "taste" while we were waiting on the chicken (which I used the remaining flour mixture to dust and fry as well)and we could hardly keep out of them. I'm pretty sure the nutritional info here is inaccurate unless you also consume all of the oil. Thanks for sharing this definate KEEPER.
