Try full squats with about 60kg for your first couple of sets, if it's easy keep adding 10kg till you struggle to get out 8.
Last couple of sets go as heavy as you can for about 5/6 reps but just with normal squats (legs down to parallel).
Last set go with the lighter full squats again, repping till you feel like passing out.

It'll take a couple of weeks but this is how I got my strength back after 6 months not squatting, I went from struggling with 120kg to currently 180kg for 4 or 5.

The lighter full squats help you get used to keeping your balance and form.

Hope this helps, squats are ace!!!
