Potatoes, leeks
and cheese, what else do you need in this season? Probably nothing,
at least I'm pretty happy with these ingredients. I decided to make a
potato and leek bake, but a slightly different kind than normally. I
mashed the potatoes and mixed them with cheese and leeks cooked in
cider. It was such a good combination!
We are probably
going to switch the Christmas lights on in our flat tonight, so I'm
now off to tidy the balcony up. Then I'll prepare some snacks for the
evening and there will of course also be mulled wine. What plans do
you have for the weekend?
Potato and leek bake
1 kg potatoes (I
used the Apache variation)
1 onion
1 cloveless garlic
25 g butter
2 leeks
100 ml dry cider
Salt to taste
Ground black
pepper to taste
1 tsp vegetable
stock powder
200 g Gruyere
cheese
Method
Cook the potatoes
and mash them.
Chop the onion and
garlic finely and start cooking them in butter.
Slice the leeks
and add them to the onion.
Let cook for a
while until and then add the cider.
Cook until the
leeks are soft and season with salt, pepper and vegetable stock
powder.
Grate the cheese.
Mix the leeks with
the potato mash and then add the grated cheese into them.
Stir into an even
mixture and place in a oven dish.
Bake at 180 C for
about 10 minutes.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteIndeed! I could eat this sort of dishes every day, but I guess it's a bit heavy with the cheese and butter...
