Yummy Winter Leek & Potato Bites

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with silicone cups.

In a small frying pan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the finely chopped leek and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until very soft and translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze tightly to remove as much excess moisture as possible.

In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed grated potatoes, softened leeks, beaten eggs, grated cheese, and fresh herbs. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, pressing down gently so they hold together. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is firm to the touch.

Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature.
