Potatoe and Leek Soup:

35g Butter

2 leeks sliced

1 medium onion finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic crushed

600g potatoes, peeled and chopped

3 cups chicken stock

1 x 375ml of evaporated milk (you can get the low fat one if you want to make the recipe with a lower fat content)

salt and pepper to taste

1. melt the butter and saute the leeks, onion and garlic for about 5 - 10mins

2. Add chopped potatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes

3. Add stock and simmer uncovered until the potatoes are soft

4. Take mixture off stove and puree the mixture

5. Return to the heat and add evaporated milk and salt and pepper

6. Bring to the boil and serve

*best thing is you can freeze it if you have left overs

Why not make potatoe rosti:

Ingredients (serves 4)

750g potatoes, washed

60g (3 tbs) butter, melted

Salt & ground black pepper, to taste

1. Place the unpeeled potatoes in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and boil, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Drain. Allow to cool completely.

2. Peel and grate the potatoes and place in a large bowl with the butter, salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.

3. Heat a small (18-20cm base measurement) non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and press down firmly. Cook for 15 minutes or until the base is golden brown and crisp.

4. Slide the rosti out of the pan onto a large board. Flip the rosti over back into the pan so that the golden side is now uppermost. Cook for a further 10 minutes or until cooked through and the base is golden brown and crisp.

Turn onto a serving plate, cut into wedges and serve immediately.

I make a magic potato in the microwave.

Do not peel....Simply prick it a few times with a fork, then microwave it until soft, cut a cross in it and squeeze it on four sides to let the soft inner push out. Add a dollop of butter and serve with or without a filling/sauce or as a side item with almost any meal...
