Aromatic caraway seeds, which add a nutty licorice flavor that's a little like that of fennel, may be omitted from the recipe, if you like. The spicy sour cream sauce cools and adds heat at the same time.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups shredded peeled baking potato (about 2 pounds)
2 cups chopped leek
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1 large egg white
4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8-ounce) carton reduced-fat sour cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
