This was actually my first time ever cooking with Leek. They are much like an onion and give the pie a delicious sweetness.
Fun fact - potatoes are absolutely packed with potassium..they have even more potassium than bananas. Potassium is absolutely vital and often lacking in most of our diets, it allows for nerves to respond to stimulation and muscles to contract.
The potato topping can also be subbed for puff pastry.
