3 tablespoons butter
2 cups thinly sliced leeks (white and pale green portions)
1/2 cup white wine
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam broth

In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with salted water and bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add leeks and cook 3 minutes, until softened. Add wine and clam broth. Increase heat to medium-high; boil 10 minutes or until mixture is reduced by half. Add cream, reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add potatoes and simmer 7 minutes. Add scallops and simmer 3 minutes (5 to 6 minutes for sea scallops), just until opaque (do not boil). Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Garnish with parsley, paprika and a sprig of dill.
