▢ 750 g potatoes (floral, in equal pieces)
▢ 500 g leeks ((white + light green), finely chopped)
▢ 40 g butter
▢ 150 ml milk
▢ Nutmeg (to taste)
▢ salt (to taste)
▢ pepper (to taste)
▢ cayenne pepper (to taste)
▢ 1 kl mustard (to taste)

Optional

▢ 75 g bacon (diced)

Instructions

Potatoes: Cook in lightly salted water 15-18 min until tender. Drain and let evaporate for 1 min on low heat.
Wash leeks: Halve lengthwise, rinse thoroughly between layers (sand!), chop finely.
Stew leeks: stew 8-10 min in 10 g butter (and/or dash of water) with lid until soft, do not color. Last minutes without lid to allow excess liquid to evaporate. You can choose to blend the leeks.
Purée: Mash potatoes with warm milk, possibly an egg and butter. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
Mix: Fold in the stewed leeks. Taste and finish with mustard if necessary.
Bacon frying: Dice the bacon and fry until crispy in a pan without butter.
