This
simple and delicious leek and potato pie, using
Mrs.
Bourne's Mature Cheshire Cheese goes with
just about everything - fantastic with sausages,
and vegetarians will love it too.
-
Peel
and thinly slice three medium size potatoes.
-
Cut
two trimmed leeks into 1/2 inch thick rings.
-
Grate
10 - 12 ozs. of the cheese. Season 3/4 pint
of single cream with salt and pepper. Crush
a single clove of garlic (optional).
-
Grease
a shallow oven-proof dish with butter and garlic.
-
Layer
the potatoes, leek and Cheshire cheese and cover
with the seasoned cream.
-
Cover
with greaseproof paper or foil and bake for
about 1 1/4 hours in a moderate oven, until
the potatoes are tender.
-
Remove
cover ten minutes before finishing to brown
top.
This
can be cooked very successfully in a microwave
oven at full power: Stir at least twice - don't
worry about disturbing the layers - nobody will
ever know!

Tip: If you are lucky enough to possess a
food processor, alternate the
potatoes and cheese, using the same slicing disk
