- While potatoes are cooking, in a heavy skillet cook leeks in 4 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Stir in thyme and salt and pepper to taste.
- Drain potatoes in a colander and return to kettle. Dry potatoes over low heat, shaking kettle,1 minute. Cool potatoes just until they can be handled and peel. While potatoes are still warm, force through a ricer into a large bowl. In a small saucepan heat milk and cream until mixture just comes to a boil. Stir leeks and milk mixture into potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Spread potato mixture in a buttered 4-quart shallow baking dish. Chill potato mixture, covered, 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Dot potato mixture with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and bake, covered with foil, in middle of oven until heated through and butter is melted, about 15 minutes.

[email protected]This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, or maybe some garlic or onion powder.

[email protected]This recipe is a great base, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to make it my own. I usually add some grated Parmesan cheese, chopped bacon, and a dollop of sour cream.

[email protected]The mashed potatoes were a bit too runny for my taste, but the flavor was spot on. Next time I'll try using less milk or adding some cornstarch to thicken them up.
