Ingredients
- 6 Yukon Gold potatoes, (about 3 lb/1.5 Kg)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 leeks, white and light green parts only
- 3/4 tsp each salt and pepper
- 1 pinch dried thyme
- 1-1/3 cups buttermilk
Preparation
Scrub potatoes; cut into 2-inch (5 cm) cubes. In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cover and cook potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.
Meanwhile, in small skillet, melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the butter over medium heat; fry leeks, a pinch each of the salt and pepper and thyme until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add buttermilk and remaining butter, salt and pepper to potatoes; smash with potato masher until smooth with a few large pieces remaining. Stir in leek mixture.
