Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 1/2 ounces leek, white part only, chopped finely
• 2 1/2 ounces onion, chopped finely
• 1 large garlic clove, chopped finely
• 3 ounces broccoli chopped finely
• 8 ounces peeled russet potato (from 1 potato)*
• 6 tbsp (1 1/2 oz) shredded cheddar jack cheese
• 1/2 + 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• 4 tbsp water

Directions

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the oil, leeks, onions and garlic and cook 4 minutes, until soft.

2. Meanwhile, chop the potato into 1/8th inch dice. The best way to do this is slice them into 1/8th inch strips, then cut the strips into small cubes.

3. Add the potatoes, salt and 2 tablespoons of water, cover and cook medium-low heat until soft, about 10 minutes.

4. Add the broccoli, 2 more tablespoons of water and cook covered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

5. Let cool 10 minutes.

6. Add the cheese and roll into 4 balls, about 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) each. Flatten to form cakes.

7. To cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat, cook 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is golden, gently flip and cook and additional 4 to 5 minutes. You can freeze whatever you don’t eat. To reheat from frozen, bake in 390F preheated oven 25 minutes.
