Leeks sautéed in butter and a little water make a wonderful addition to tender mashed potatoes with sweet and spicy roasted garlic. Mash the potatoes and leeks together, and for the most airy and creamy mash, use a potato masher before adding the remaining ingredients. A great side dish for any meat or poultry dish.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Halve the garlic cloves crosswise and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and roast until soft, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves into a small bowl and lightly mash with a fork.
Step 2
• Stewed leeks:
  
  In a large skillet, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
• Mashed potatoes:
  
  Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 45 minutes. Drain.
Step 4
• Peel the potatoes and return them to the pan (if desired, puree them using a vegetable grinder or masher). Add the leeks. Mash the potatoes with the onion, milk, and butter. Stir in the roasted garlic and 2 tablespoons of salt, and season with pepper to taste.
