This is based on
keftes de prasa, a traditional Sephardic recipe for fritters. Leeks add
an aromatic note to traditional Hanukkah latkes (potato pancakes).
Fritters and latkes are typically fried with olive oil; here, we use
canola oil, which has a mild flavor and high smoke point to brown the
fritters. To prepare fritters ahead, place cooked fritters in a 250°
oven to stay warm until you're ready to serve. Garnish with parsley
sprigs, if desired.

Preparation
To
prepare yogurt, spoon yogurt onto several layers of heavy-duty paper
towels; spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper
towels; let stand 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl using a rubber spatula.
Combine yogurt and next 5 ingredients (through 1/8 teaspoon pepper) in
a small bowl. Cover and chill.
To prepare fritters, heat a large
nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add leek, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon
pepper. Sauté 10 minutes or until golden, adding remaining 1/4 cup
water as necessary to prevent leeks from sticking to pan. Place leeks
and potatoes in a large bowl. Combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon
pepper, eggs, and egg whites; stir well with a whisk. Add egg mixture
to potato mixture.
Heat 4 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick
skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Spoon about 3
tablespoons potato mixture for each of 8 fritters into pan. Cook 3
minutes on each side or until browned. Remove from pan. Repeat
procedure with the remaining 4 teaspoons oil and potato mixture.
Sprinkle fritters with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4
teaspoon pepper. Serve with yogurt sauce.
