Gerber's Scalloped Potatoes



Ok, well I fibbed. This recipe has nothing to do with Martin Gerber....other than there is swiss cheese in it. But I have to bring hockey into everything!


This is actually my sister's recipie. I hate scalloped potatoes so I didn't even want to try these....boy am I happy I sucked it up and took one for the team. These are hands down the best scalloped potatoes I've ever tasted.

Ingredients

4 medium potaotes sliced (peel 'em if you like, but I keep the peel on)
1 cup chopped leeks
1 tsp salt
1 cup whipping cream (small 250 mL carton)
2 tbsp butter
4 oz swiss cheese shredded

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 deg.

mix potatoes in a bowl with leeks and salt. Layer in a baking dish and pour whipping cream over them. Dot with butter. Bake covered for one hour. Uncover, top with the swiss cheese and bake until melted.

I wouldn't substitute a different cheese if I were you. For me personally, the swiss cheese is what makes this dish so unique and tasty.
