Baked Potatoes with Leeks and Lemon Zest

Another wonderful recipe I came up with using leeks to make Baked Potatoes with Leeks and Lemon Zest.

When buying leeks, one cannot purchase one stalk. It is usually 2 or more stalks depending on the supermarket. Since I had extra leek stalks from the last dish I made, I decided to add it to my baked potatoes instead of onions.

I also added lemon zest to the recipe just for fun and for a different type of flavor. The lemon added a little zing to the dish, which I was pleased with. This delightful side dish was a great accompaniment for my roasted chicken. Baked Potatoes with Leeks and Lemon Zest is a keeper. That reminds me, I need to post a roasted chicken recipe. It won’t be long, I promise.
