Fritas de prasa, also Keftes de prasa (Hebrew: קציצות כרישה) (Kztizot krisha) are fried potato-leek pancakes common in Sephardi cuisine.

Fritas de prasa are similar to a latke. [1] Fritas de prasa have been served by Sephardi Jews on Hanukkah, Passover and Rosh Hashanah since the time of the Spanish Inquisition and forced expulsion of Jews from Spain. [2]
