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
