it was a good alternative to regular mashed potatoes. the best part- because the recipe makes way too much- is to put them in a pan, and stock or water and buillon, puree with immersion blender- and you have a 2 minute awesome potato leek soup! better than just the mashed potatoes!

I have never used leeks before. This was a wonderful dish and my family loved it. The only down side was a little too wet. Will be using this recipe again.
