Either part boil the potatoes or slice them so thin that they will be 'done' in the oven. Chop up the leeks, quit roughly. Make the sauce by melting a knob of butter with the milk, then add flour, keep stirring to keep a smooth sauce that is not too thin, then add half the grated block of cheese, keep stirring until the sauce is smooth. Add salt etc. to taste Sprinkle leeks on top, pour over sauce evenly, then add the rest of grated cheese. Bake at 180c for 30-35 mins, until brown at top and when the potatoes are easily pierced by fork. Enjoy!

Show more commentsI make this, too. Delicious, but for fat days only. For my version, parboil fairly thickly sliced potatoes. Layer half potatoes, then chunky sliced leeks, add some dry-fried chunks of bacon (cooking bacon is v. cheap), top with remaining potato and pour on sauce. I use parmesan as well as cheddar to get cheesier flavour and a few less calories.
