Ingredients
10 oz (275 g) potatoes, peeled and boiled
4 oz (110 g) mature Corleggy Goat Cheese
1 small leek
4 oz (110 g) butter
1 clove of garlic
1 oz (25 g) flour

Method
First, preheat the oven at gas mark 6/400°f/200°C. When the potatoes have cooled, grate them. Grate the cheese and chop very thinly about 2 inches of the green part of the leek. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the leek and the chopped garlic.

Cook very gently for a couple of minutes and then stir in the flour and the sour cream and yoghurt. Stir over a low heat for 3 minutes and then remove from the heat. Stir in the egg yolks and add the grated potato. Season and add the grated goat cheese. (This preparation can be done a few hours before cooking.) Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold into the mixture. Put into a soufflé dish and cook for about 25 minutes. Serve immediately.
