27g
2 tbsp fresh thyme
30g
2 tbsp dried oregano
30g
4 potatoes
800g
1 leek
180g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Ingredients:
- Potatoes: Peel and thinly slice the potatoes.
- Leek: Rinse the leek thoroughly to remove any dirt, then thinly slice it.
- Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves.

3. Mix Cheeses and Herbs:
In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, and dried oregano. Set this mixture aside.
4. Layer Vegetables:
In a greased baking dish, arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, followed by a layer of sliced leeks. Continue layering until all potatoes and leeks are used. Season each layer lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Prepare Cream Mixture:
In a separate bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, white wine, minced garlic, and paprika. Mix well.
6. Assemble:
Pour the cream mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and leeks. Ensure it coats all the vegetables well. Sprinkle the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the top.
7. Bake:
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes.
8. Uncover and Finish Baking:
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
9. Serve:
Let the Parmesan, Potato & Leek Bake cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or a main course.

Tips:

- Choose a starchy potato variety like Russet for a creamier texture.

- Slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Be sure to clean the leek thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit between the layers.

- If you prefer a stronger herb flavor, increase the amount of thyme and oregano.

- To save time, you can assemble the dish in advance and bake it when you are ready.

- Allow the bake to rest for about 10 minutes after removing it from the oven to let the flavors meld together.

- Pair this dish with a light green salad to balance the richness of the bake.

This Parmesan, potato & leek bake is a comforting and satisfying dish that's sure to please any crowd. The combination of creamy potatoes, savory leeks, and rich cheeses makes every bite a delight. Be sure to let it rest a few minutes out of the oven to allow the flavors to meld together even more. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or as a hearty addition to your evening meal.
