A well used recipe in my house-and so easy to make. It’s great as a side dish to a main meal, or as a topping on Cottage Pies and suchlike, or quite simply a good comforting supper dish all on its own with some good thick gravy to pour on top. This is actually my husband’s favourite way to eat potato. I hope you enjoy it. Ingredients:
900 g potatoes |
50 g butter |
3 leeks |
200 g grated cheddar cheese |
1 large egg |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
2. Boil potatoes. Cut leeks into 1 cm slices. Melt 1/2 of the butter in a pan and cook leeks for about 10 minutes.
3. Drain and mash potatoes with the other 1/2 of butter, the egg and 3/4 of the cheese.
4. Season to taste, stir in the leeks and turn into a large ovenproof dish.
5. Top with remaining cheese and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden. Will take longer if you have prepared the dish in advance.
