leeky cheesy spuds
A very simple but good enough for a special occasion dish. It’s mashed potatoes with leeks, sour cream and cheese added. I can make a huge amount of this and have it wiped out as the guys take second and even third helpings. Plan to serve it as soon as it’s out of the oven so the cheese will remain melted and gooey. This is a very adaptable recipe when it comes to the amounts of the ingredients to use. If your family really loves sour cream use more or skip it altogether if you don’t care for it at all. The same is true with the cheese use as much or little as you like and any kind you want.
