Drain potatoes, transfer to medium bowl and, while still hot, coarsely mash. Using electric mixer, beat in butter, Large eggs, salt and pepper to taste till smooth.
- In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add in leeks and cook, stirring often, till softened, about 10 min.

Remove pan from heat and let cold.
