The recipe I got from one of my favorite books ((UB got me for xmas last year or the year before... don't remember)) Tea & Sympathy - so I don't own the rights for this one okay?

1 onion, peeled and chopped
3 potatoes, peeled and chopped

-Melt the butter in a large saucepan and cook the leeks and onion over medium heat until they are soft but not brown.
