Smashed Leek Potatoes image

This recipe is from a Canadian show called Best Recipes Ever.I have never tried leeks but thought this was a good way to try them.I'm very glad I did.Leeks have a similar taste as a green onion.I halved the recipe to make it into 2 servings. For the buttermilk,I used milk and about 1 tbsp of lemon juice mixed together. Cooking time is boiling time for the potatoes.

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The potatoes were creamy and flavorful, and the leeks added a nice touch of sweetness. I would definitely make this dish again, but I might make a few changes to the recipe next time.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more garlic and herbs, and I would also roast the potatoes instead of boiling them.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I thought this dish was just okay. The potatoes were a bit dry and the leeks were a bit too strong for my taste.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more garlic and herbs next time.

These potatoes were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I loved the crispy edges and the creamy interior. I served them with roasted chicken and they were the perfect side dish.
