Melt the butter from the Parmentier potatoes in a heavybased casserole and add the potatoes and leek, stirring to coat in the butter; season and cook for 5 minutes. Bring a kettle of water to the boil. Mix the fish sauce into 250ml just-boiled water and add to the pan with the cider. Bring to the boil, then lower to a simmer and cover with a lid; bubble away for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
