This simple mixture can be added to mashed potatoes to give them a different flavor, or it can be used as a garnish for meat dishes. And the great thing about it is you can freeze it, and use the confit later on.

3 Tablespoons butter

3 Tablespoons olive oil

12 cups sliced leeks

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Here's What You Do
