2. Sauté Garlic

   Heat the olive oil in the large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Cook Leeks

   Add the sliced leeks to the skillet. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

   Time: PT5M

4. Add Potatoes

5. Add Mushrooms & Finish Vegetables

   Add the sliced mushrooms. Continue to sauté, stirring, until the potatoes are fork‑tender (about 12 minutes total from the start of this step).
