Mashed Red Potatoes and Leeks

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 2 medium leeks, rinsed thoroughly and thinly sliced

• ⅓ cup milk

• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, cover red potatoes with water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low; simmer for 15 minutes or until easily pierced with fork.

2. While potatoes are cooking, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and sauté until softened and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
