1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the leeks in a microwaveable bowl with a splash of water, then microwave for 3 mins on High. Set aside. Microwave the potatoes for 10-15 mins on High, turning halfway through cooking. Leave until cool enough to handle, then cut in half lengthways and carefully scoop out the middle into the bowl with the leeks, keeping the potato skin intact.
2. Mash the leek and potato with the soft cheese, egg and parsley, then spoon back into the potato skins. Place on a baking sheet, then bake for 15 mins until the filling is golden brown and piping hot, and the skins have crisped up. Delicious served with a tomato and baby leaf salad.

  I had never had leaks or herb cream cheese before I made this. Tasted gorgeous. Went down really well at my party last night. Really easy, cheap and quick to make and really filling.

  These were very good - quick and very tasty. I didn't have any eggs so mashed with a splash of milk instead - worked a treat.

  I found the skins are crispier if you place them in the oven whilst mashing the potato with the leeks etc.

  The kids loved these - I would also add a bit of strong cheese as well.

  I love the idea here - and some of the comments as well. I reckon I could m'wave the potatoes. Prepare the filing, adding in the cooked potato, when it's ready. I really like the idea of putting the potato shells in the oven wile mixing the filling, to et the skins start to crisp. Then pile the filling into the shells, and either grate or layr some good flavoursome cheese over the top, then into the oven. It's a good way to use garlic and herb cheese - mixing it in to the filling. Certainly saves on having to think of seasonings for yourself - if you're that way inclined.

  I made these the other night and they were lovely. I couldn't get flavoured cream cheese so thought I'd liven it up a bit. I browned the leeks in a little butter first, added some choped ham and then tossed this with the plain cream cheese, egg, potato and a tiny bit of strong chedder - then piled it all back in and baked them off. Mmmm!

  I added a little bacon (for non vegetarians) and onion (cooked bacon, leeks and onion in a pan instead of microwave) to this and put the skins to crisp in the oven while mixing the ingredient and it tasted great! Didn't have any strong cheese to mix in but next time I make this I will most certainly add some.

  This receipe was really tasty. I added a splash of milk, fried mushrooms and Goats cheese with Chives, as well as leeks to the potato. Also while I was mixing the pototoes I buttered the skins, sprinkled with Rock salt and put them in the Oven. Really nice and crispy. Served with lightly warmed baby tomatoes. Idealy for a light super.
