Peanut oil (for frying)
3 cups matchstick-size strips leeks (white and pale green parts only; from about 1 pound of leeks)
Here’s an easy one! Pour peanut oil into heavy small saucepan to depth of 1 inch; heat to 350°F. Fry leeks in small batches until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer fried leeks to paper towels to drain.
