Fritas de prasa, also keftes de prasa and albondigas de prasa (Hebrew: קציצות כרישה, romanized: ktzizot krisha, lit. 'leek patties') are fried potato-leek pancakes common in Sephardic Jewish cuisine.
Fritas de prasa have been served by Sephardic Jews on Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, Passover since the time of the Spanish Inquisition and forced expulsion of Jews from Spain.[1]
