Method

0 of 8 done
  1. Set the oven to 200°C.
  2. Coat the baking potato with olive oil, set it on a baking tray, and bake for 45–60 minutes until tender.
  3. Slice the leek. Boil it in salted water for 3–4 minutes until soft, then drain and set aside.
  4. Warm the milk gently in a small pan. In a separate pan, melt the butter, then stir in the flour to make a paste.
  5. Pour the warm milk into the paste gradually, whisking until smooth. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Grate the cheese. Stir it into the sauce along with the mustard, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, then take off the heat.
  7. When the potato is done, halve it lengthways and scoop out the flesh, keeping the skins intact.
  8. Mash the potato flesh with the cooked leek, then spoon the mixture back into the skins. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and serve.
