I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mashed potatoes turned out really gluey. I think I might have overcooked them.

I thought the mashed potatoes were a bit too runny. I might try adding less milk or cream next time.

I thought the leeks were a bit too strong for my taste, but my husband loved them. Overall, this was a good recipe and I would make it again with less leeks.
