Cheesy Leek and Potato Bake
A well used recipe in my house-and so easy to make. It’s great as a side dish to a main meal, or as a topping on Cottage Pies and suchlike, or quite simply a good comforting supper dish all on its own with some good thick gravy to pour on top. This is actually my husband’s favourite way to eat potato. I hope you enjoy it.
