Potato salad with leeks

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes
• 2 leeks
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• 200 g mayonnaise (it can be low fat)
• 100 ml olive oil
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 lime (juice only)
• Leaves of fresh oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 100 g capers

Instructions

1. 1

   --- For the potatoes ---

2. 2

   Peel and cut the potatoes. Don't cut them too small.

3. 3

   Fill a large pot with plenty of water and a tablespoon of water. Drop the potatoes in and they go over medium heat.

4. 4

   Once it starts to boil adjust the heat so that you only see a few bubbles coming up. If the water is too hot the potatoes will start to mash on the outside before cooking all the way through.

5. 5

   Once they're al dente (once again, we don't want to make mashed potatoes), strain them and let them dry out.

6. 6

   --- For the leeks ---

7. 7

   Discard the dark green tops of the leeks.

8. 8

   Slice the leek in half lengthwise and wash it under running water, moving the layers around so the water can clean it properly.

9. 9

   Slice the leek, discarding the last bit of the base.

10. 10

    Cook the leek over medium heat with olive oil, salt and pepper until it's soft and starting to become golden.

    Let it cool down completely.
