3 medium to large potatoes, peeled and chopped into ½ cubes

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon curry powder

2 tablespoons flour

Instructions

In a 5-6 quart stock pot, melt the butter and sauté the chopped leeks over low heat until soft.  Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, and curry and cook for about 10 minutes over medium heat stirring frequently. Add flour and stir to coat.
