# Whipped potato and crumbly cheese with leek butter recipe
|
|
|
|
## The lightness and tart flavour of potatoes cooked this way always
|
|
surprises me - looking at the ingredients you'd think the opposite.

|
|
1 leek
|
|
|
|
120g butter
|
|
|
|
2 tbsp softened unsalted butter
|
|
|
|
1 small clove of garlic, grated
|
|
|
|
2 tbsp creme fraiche
|
|
|
|
600g Wensleydale cheese, chopped into small squares
|
|
|
|
crispy bacon (optional)
|
|
|
|
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and put through a
|
|
mouli-legumes or grate them. Do not use a food processor because it will make
|
|
them go gluey; a handheld masher is fine.
|
|
|
|
While the potatoes boil, split the leek lengthways and then trim off any tough
|
|
green leaf tips. Cut it up roughly, then wash to remove any dirt; drain and
|
|
chop finely. Melt the butter and then add the leek - let it simmer gently,
|
|
until tender.
|
|
|
|
Put the potatoes back in the pan and place over a very low heat. Add the
|
|
butter, garlic and creme fraiche and beat with a wooden spoon. Add the cheese
|
|
a handful at a time, stirring in a figure of eight pattern. Once all the
|
|
cheese is incorporated, taste for salt and serve immediately with the leek
|
|
butter ladled over the top.
|
|
|
|
Meat lovers may like this with rashers of smoked streaky bacon, fried until
|
|
crisp.
