French Inspired Potato Leek Salad

• 1 1/2 lbs any kind of potatoes, peeled or unpeeled and cut into 2 inch cubes
• 2 leeks, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup diced crunchy veggie (I used radishes, but I imagine celery, carrots, etc would be also good)
• dressing:
• mayo and/or greek yogurt (I used equal parts of each for a total of about 3/4 cup, but you can vary depending on taste and healthiness desire)
• white wine vinegar (I used about 1 1/2 tablespoons)
• whole grain mustard (I used about 2 table spoons)
• herbes de Provence (I used about 1 tablespoon and imagine other dried or fresh herbs would be yummy)
• pinch of salt

1. Cook potatoes in an uncovered pot of boiling water.
2. While potatoes cook, in a separate pan, saute leeks in butter over medium heat until slightly browned and tender, but not burnt, about 10 minutes. When finished, remove from heat.
3. While both are cooking, whisk together dressing ingredients and modify to taste.
4. When a fork goes into the potatoes but they are still somewhat firm (about 10 to 15 minutes of cook time), use a slotted spoon to remove potatoes from pan, reserving hot water in the pan. Put potatoes in the bowl you plan on mixing up the salad in, and submerge in an ice water bath.
5. In the same pan with reserved hot water from potatoes, add and hard boil eggs (cover pan and simmer), about 12 minutes.
6. While eggs are cooking, and potatoes soaking in ice water, chop the crunchy veggies and set aside.
7. When potatoes are cool to the touch, remove from bath and chop into smaller pieces. Dump water out of the bowl and dry.
8. Add potatoes, leeks, crunchy diced veggie and dressing to the bowl and mix together.
9. When the eggs are finished, run under cold water and/or soak in ice bath, chop and add to salad.
10. Add salt and pepper to taste.
11. Chill in fridge until cool or overnight. (The flavors get better overnight) Enjoy!
