Mashed Potatoes with Leeks

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. potatoes (Finnish or Yukon Gold)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 leek, thinly sliced
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • 2 TB butter (or margarine for parve)
  • ¼ quarter cup of cream (or soy milk for parve)
  • 1 TB Fresh rosemary or thyme (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt, pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in their peels together with the garlic cloves. Meanwhile, sauté the leek in olive oil together with salt, freshly ground pepper and rosemary, until softened – around 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and peel. Don’t worry if bits of peel stay on the potato, it will add a nice texture and color.
  2. Mash with the garlic cloves, leeks and remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt, pepper and olive oil.
