TWICE-BAKED POTATOES WITH CREAMY LEEKS AND CROTTIN

“My dad introduced me to leeks and I fell in love immediately! As a kid, I was drawn to brassica and allium flavours and loved something pungent and challenging, which is a big part of my goat’s cheese and chicken liver obsession today. These creamy leeks make everything they touch delicious.”

Serves 4 EASY GREAT VALUE Preparation: 25 minutes Cooking: 1 hour

Heat a pan and add half the butter and olive oil. Fry the leeks over a medium heat until softened and slightly caramelised, about 10 Remove the potatoes from the foil and place on a baking tray.
