Hello my friends! Today I have these delectable little potato, leek and mushroom cakelets for you! I have a deep love for the earthy pairing of potatoes and mushrooms. And these cakelets- they’re crispy, savory, super easy to make, and totally satisfying. We enjoyed ours with a giant salad and white wine. I highly recommend! Also, if you have leftovers- they’re amazing with an egg on top as a breakfast treat!!! Enjoy! xx- Sarah
