My husband LOVES fried onions. I'll give this a try tonight.
I also found this recipe which I'm fixing (experimenting with) tonight: http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes/salmon-leek-cream-60092.aspx.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Of you live in a warmer area you can leave the leeks in the ground and mulch them to overwinter.
I have made "frizzled leeks" - "frizzled" being afancy word for fried. I clean the white and light green part of the leeks well. If I want rounds I cut them, then clean them; if strips are okay I clean them first. Then fry them until they are crisp in a little oil. Drain them on a paper towel and they are great for a garnish - or a snack. Much better than chips or fried onions.

You could throw them in a stir fry. You can substitute them for onions in recipes also.

freki is right, leeks freeze well. I chop leftover ones up and tuck in the freezer all the time.

Thanks. I haven't made risotto in a bit, but I have the arborio rice on hand.

Chop them (the white parts only) and add to soups and stews. Or, finely chopped in meatballs, meatloaf, etc. I expect you could chop them and freeze them, like you would onions.

I need help! 
I have a bunch of leeks ready in our garden and I need suggestions for their use. This is the first time we have tried growing them and I have only used them a few times in Leek/Potato soup and a few other recipes.
Any suggestions?
