Oil for frying

Cook the potatoes in their jackets in boiling water until they are tender. Cool slightly, peel and mash.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Add the chopped leeks and fry for 8 minutes or until tender and golden.
Mix the fried leeks with the potato purée and season with salt and pepper. Roll the mix into a sausage and cut into 2 cm (34 inch) thick slices.
