Drain and return to pot. 2. While potatoes are cooking, cut leek into 1/2 inch pieces (white and light green parts only) and wash. 3. Cut up bacon with scissors into small pieces. Cook bacon in skillet until it starts to crisp. Add leeks and cook for 3 - 5 more minutes or until leeks are tender. Drain fat. 4.
