Potato and Leek Pancake

Adapted from “Everybody Eats Well In Belgium” by Ruth van Waerebeek, this pancake can be lunch or brunch or a wonderful appetizer.

Crispy Potatoes and Leeks

These become tender and soft in the oven, and are finished off under the broiler to crip them up! Adapted from Cooking Pleasures magazine. Potatoes and leeks were used throughout Europe and are considered Irish, Russian and Southern USA foods.

Stoemp (Belgium)

I used this recipe for week 26 of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Belgium is my 26th stop. I never use any recipe for my blog that I’m not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. Stoemp is a traditional Belgian potato dish that can be made with many different vegetables, including cabbage, carrots and onions. This version uses leeks.
