Wicklewood's Anglesey Eggs

"If you are trying to cut back on your fat content you could always cook your leeks in a little water instead of butter, but you will need to drain the leeks before adding them to the potatoes or the mixture will be too wet, and remember the overall amount of butter needed would be reduced to 2oz for the cheese sauce. Prep time includes boiling the potatoes and eggs"
