We don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving in Europe, but if we did, this dish would probably be one of the side dishes on the menu. It’s easy to make, full of flavor, and it tastes delicious.
You can serve it as a main dish or a side dish next to roasted chicken or some other type of protein. It’s perfect for cold winter months when you don’t feel like cooking a lot, but you still want something delicious to cozy up on the couch with.

Over Roasted Potatoes with Creamy Leek Sauce
- Grease a medium-size baking tray with high edges with butter or oil so that the sauce will not stick to the bottom, or use a non-stick baking tray.
- Pour the leek sauce into a baking tray, then evenly top it with the potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 200 °C (393 °F) for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are done. The baking time may vary based on your oven and the size of your potato pieces.
