Leek and Potato Pie:

2 large leeks

1 3/4 lbs. potatoes, peeled or scrubbed and thinly sliced

1/4 c. flour

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/4 c. butter or margarine

2 1/4 c. milk

Mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Place 1/3 of potatoes in a layer in a baking dish (9x13). Sprinkle half the leeks on top, half of the flour mixture, and 1/3 of the butter.

Spead a layer of potatoes on top and sprinkle with the rest of the leeks and seasoned flour. Dot with half of the butter. Top with the remaining potatoes. Dot with rest of butter.

Heat milk and pout over potatoes. Cover with foil or lid and bake for 45 minutes at 450 degrees. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes.

Rating: We had guest show up unexpectedly for dinner (which I don't mind at all) and everyone loved it. This has been a long time favorite of mine.
