Mashed Potatoes with Leek and Dill

About 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 leek, cleaned and diced
1/3 cup light cream or half & half
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp dried dill weed

Place potatoes and leek in a pot and cover them with cold water.  Place on stove and bring to a boil.  Add about a teaspoon of salt and bring to a simmer.  Cook until just tender to a sharp knife.  Drain potatoes.  Add the cream, butter and dill and mash the potatoes to your liking.  Salt and pepper to taste.

Serves 4 as a side dish.

Cook's Note:  You can also do the same thing with sweet potatoes for a fantastic, unique dish.
