The Good Bit
- Pre heat your oven too 190c 375f gas 5, now chuck the potatoes in the boiling water and parboil for 3 minutes, take out and slice (careful here, this is where you need asbestos fingers)
- Place the leeks in the bottom of the oven proof dish and sprinkle over the garlic, layer on the potatoes then pour on the cream, now cook in the oven for 45 minutes.
- When the time is up and you have checked the potatoes are soft, sprinkle on the breadcrumbs and top with the grated cheese, at this stage you can place back in the oven to brown off or for speed put under a pre heated grill until the top is brown. serve immediately.
