100g butter
2 leeks, cleaned and green ends removed

Method
Peel the potatoes and cook in a large pot of water for 30 to 40 minutes until cooked through. Remove and drain.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter and add the leeks, cooking for around 10 minutes until softened. Add the wild garlic. Pour in the milk and cream and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Stir through an extra knob of butter for good measure and transfer into a serving dish.
