Mashed potatoes with garlic and leeks

Potatoes 1 - 1 1/2 potatoes per person
Leeks 1 bunch
(cauliflower) about 3 or 4 large flowers cut into small pieces
water - enough to cover the top of the potatoes
salt & pepper
butter - 2 tbsp.

*There are two ways to do this.

Cut your potatoes just like you would normally do. Get your pot of water on to boil.

* Either put the potatoes and cauliflower into the boiling water - or-
  Cut the leeks and soak in  cold water - add half to the water with the potatoes after soaking.

Boil for approx 10 minutes or until the potatoes just get soft. Drain the water off and return to pot or put into a mixing bowl. Beat or mash (I prefer a hand masher) the potatoes and cauliflower or leeks. Add the butter, salt, & pepper. Mix well. If using the leeks, add the remaining cut leeks after all mashed and blend into mashed potatoes.

For creamier potatoes add in about 1/4 cup milk and mix well.
