This is a small variation on [[Pork sausage and apple pie|pork sausage and apple pie]]. The only difference being that we used a small [[pork fillet]] and used half [sweet potato]] and half normal potatoes for the mash.

===Serving suggestion===

Serve hot with a green vegetable such as [[broccoli]] or [[peas]]..

===Chef's notes===

If the [[leeks]] are large and a little 'tired', freshen them by [[blanching]] them in boiling water for 3 minutes-this stops them drying out whist they are being sautéd.
