Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham and Leek Pie

Thaw Puff Pastry by letting it sit at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a large pot, boil diced potatoes and carrots for about 5 minutes until tender but not fully soft, then drain.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a preheated skillet. Add diced ham and sliced leeks, sauté for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the mixture, stir in nutmeg and chicken stock. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Fold in the potatoes, carrots, milk or cream, and yellow mustard until well combined.
Roll out puff pastry and cover the pie filling. Poke holes to allow steam to escape.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
