Leek, Potato and Cheese Pie
List of Ingredients
8 leeks
2 potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cheese sauce
1 small clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese for topping
1 tablespoon parsley for garnish
Recipe
Wash leeks and cut into one-half-inch thick rounds. Peel and cut up potatoes to match size of leeks. Melt the 3 tablespoons butter in a casserole, add vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a foil or a heavy lid and bake slowly until soft, approx. 1/2 hour.
Make a cheese sauce by melting the 2 tablespoons butter and combining the flour to form a roux. Add the crushed garlic and the milk. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Add the cup and a half of cheese and stir until combined. Pour over the vegetables, mixing well. Top with the grated cheese and the chopped parsley. Heat in a 375 degree oven until heated through. Brown on top and serve
