I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed.

Did you get that recipe from Thames Water?
They have an awful lot of leeks.

@Natasha_Jay No no, it‘s (5 potato)^3, that is 125 (potato^3), these are highdimensional objects, with a large surface but a small volume. Great for a soup.

@loke @Natasha_Jay thank goodness the author didn't get really excited ... it could've been catastrophic!!!

@paulk @Natasha_Jay If my three gallon stock pot won't handle it, there's always the twenty five gallon.

I'm just wondering how many leeks you'd need to sautee.

Goddammit Natasha.

@Natasha_Jay It‘s only a little more than 11 potatoes. It‘s a root vegetable!

@Natasha_Jay Tragic accident: Woman reported as "Julienne" gruesomely killed in horrible kitchen misunderstanding. "I had my doubts, but the cooking video sounded so convincing", says devastated chef.

@Natasha_Jay

Well, cubing happens when you peel them, cut the leek, and hand both over to your disciples, to feed the 5,000. Give it a try.

@Natasha_Jay Reminds me of the early days of married life when my now-ex made a potato, leek & cheese bake which smelled medicinal & tasted disgusting. Turned out she'd misunderstood the recipe line that said " Garlic 2 cloves"
