LEEK MASHED POTATOES
Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Put them into a large pot of cold water. Add a big pinch of salt and put the pot over high heat. When it comes to a boil, cook until the potatoes are just cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, slice the leeks into small pieces and thoroughly wash to remove any dirt. Put a medium skillet over medium-low heat and add 2 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted, add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook the leeks until they are very soft, being careful not to let them color or burn, about 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander. Then put the potatoes back into the pot and let the potatoes dry out a bit while you finish the leeks.
- In a small pot over low heat, add the milk, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, garlic and thyme and warm it up. Strain the garlic and thyme from the warm milk and stir the milk into the potatoes using a wooden spoon. Mash with a potato masher, breaking up the big lumps. Stir in the melted leeks, taste and season with salt and pepper. Reserve 2 cups for another use if desired, such as the Round 2 Recipe Thanksgiving Pie. Cover the rest and keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cleaned, chopped leeks and the diced carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown. Add the diced chicken and stir to combine. Brown the chicken on all sides.
- Season the chicken and vegetable mixture with salt and pepper, sparingly. You can add more later, but you can never subtract these spices. Then add the dried thyme, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Stir well. Add 2 cups of chicken stock and stir well. Add the peas.
- Cover and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Whisk together the remaining stock and the cornstarch. Drizzle in and stir to combine. Cover and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, until thickened. Taste and season additionally as desired.
- While the chicken and vegetable mixture is cooking, boil the potatoes to tender. Drain well. Stir in the butter, chopped into pieces, and melt. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Add milk, a little at a time, to desired consistency. Season well with salt and pepper. A touch of garlic powder is a nice addition too.
- To serve: Portion the mashed potatoes into four soup bowls (wide bottom bowls). I like to place the potatoes on one side of the bowl. Divide the chicken leek stew into the four bowls as well. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven 325 degrees F.
- Butter an 8-by-8-inch square glass casserole dish. Halve the leeks lengthwise, and then cut them crosswise into half circles (There should be about 1 3/4 cups.). Put the cut leeks in the basket of a salad spinner, or a colander set in a bowl, and fill with water. Swish the leeks around to flush out any grit. Lift the basket from water--don't pour the water off or you will pour any grit right back over the leeks.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the pan drippings, add the butter and leeks, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a small saucepan with the garlic, thyme, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and water, to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain. Discard the thyme and garlic and add potatoes to the leeks.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs and half-and-half, then stir in the leek mixture, 1 cup of the cheese, the bacon, and nutmeg. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and some pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish, cover with foil and bake until just set but still moist, about 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Position a rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler. Scatter the remaining 1 cup cheese over the casserole and broil until the cheese browns, about 3 minutes. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Unmold or serve from baking dish.

Steps:
- To Make the Smashed Potatoes
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy small skillet add leeks and saute over medium heat until limp but not browned. (Set aside a couple of spoonfuls of leeks for garnish if desired).
- Add garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes; do not brown. Take off heat and mix in bacon and thyme; cook for one minute; take off heat and set aside.
- Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pot and mash roughly; these are not meant to be the consistency of regular mashed potatoes. I actually use a metal mallet meant for tenderizing meat to literally smash them.
- Add leek, garlic and bacon mixture, half and half and remaining 3 tablespoons butter and sour cream and mash together. Season with salt and pepper.
- Making the Potato Cakes
- Mix the Panko crumbs and Parmesan and spread on a plate.
- Add the eggs to the smashed potatoes and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes (not an absolute but if you have the time, do it)
- Melt equal amount of butter and olive oil in the bottom of a skillet; measure out 1/2 cup of smashed potatoes for each cake and lightly smash in a disk.
- Fry over medium heat until warmed throughout and crispy on the outside.
- Garnish with a spoonful of leeks if desired and serve warm.

Steps:
- To prepare the potatoes, place them in a large heavy pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, peel potatoes and mash in a bowl with butter, milk, salt, pepper and chives. Cover with foil and keep warm in a low oven.
- Prepare the sauce. In a saucepan warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onion and saute until onion caramelizes, turning light golden, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and tomatoes and saute until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add wine and cook until sauce reduces by half. Add chicken broth and bouquet garni, then simmer on low heat uncovered for 20 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Cover and remove from heat.
- If desired, cut leeks in half lengthwise, then halve again into quarters. Wash with cold water and dry completely. Heat peanut oil in a large heavy pot or straight-sided saucepan until the oil registers 275 on a deep-fry thermometer (the oil should not be so hot that it is close to smoking). Fry leeks a few at a time, until golden brown, about 5 minutes a batch. Remove with slotted spoon to drain on paper towels or paper bags.
- To cook fish, heat the olive oil and butter in a saucepan, preferably nonstick, over medium. Season fish with salt and pepper and fry 3 minutes a side, turning once. Remove from heat.
- Reheat sauce over medium heat until hot. Remove bouquet garni. To serve, mound mashed potatoes on platter, top with fish fillets, sauce and leeks.
GARLIC AND LEEK MASHED POTATOES
These creamy mashed potatoes use real fresh garlic, sauteed leeks in butter and sour cream for a rich side dish. The use of yellow potatoes, with their thin skin, means you don't need to peel them, saving time. But if you want creamier mashed spuds, feel free to peel the potatoes and use a little more cream in the recipe!

Steps:
- Clean and chop your potatoes into 1-inch chunks. If you like your mashed potatoes skinless, you can peel your potatoes beforehand but I find yellow flesh potatoes have a pretty thin skin, so I don't bother to do that. Place the potatoes and the garlic cloves in a large stockpot and fill with water, so it covers the potatoes by 1-inch. Add 3 teaspoons of salt to the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to let the water simmer, and cook potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a fork pierces the potatoes easily.
- While the potatoes cook, clean the leek by slicing it lengthwise and fanning them out under running water to remove the dirt and sand. Chop the white part and 1-inch of the green part of the leek. Add them to a pan with the butter and turn the heat to medium high. Cook the leeks until they soften and start to a look a little translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander, then place them back into the hot pan they cooked in.
- Add the leeks (with all the melted butter), sour cream, heavy cream along with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher and add more cream, salt and pepper to your own taste.
- Scoop into a large serving bowl, drizzle with the melted butter and garnish with chopped parsley.

- To begin, fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add the cauliflower and boil for 10-15 minutes or until soft. Drain and leave the cooked cauliflower sitting in a colander in the sink to let any steam escape (note: this helps the puree to be smoother and not mushy).
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the unsalted vegetable broth (or olive oil if desired) over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped leeks, and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the leeks are tender, stirring occasionally. Add to a food processor.
- Then to the food processor, add the nutritional yeast, vegan butter, almond milk, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Once the cauliflower has let out all the steam, add to the food processor. Starting on low power, start blending and increase speed until creamy. You may need to stop the processor and stir in case some of the florets get stuck at the top. This recipe makes about 4 cups mashed cauliflower, or roughly 1 cup per serving. Taste and add salt, pepper, or additional nutritional yeast as desired. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
