1 large leek, washed and sliced
2 oz gorgonzola cheese, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

1Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Dry the potatoes and rub with half of the olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 1 hour or until tender.
2 Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and add the sliced leeks. Cook for 3 – 4 minutes, or until softened and just beginning to turn golden.
