The classic combination of leek and potato works well in this dish, but we added some other tasty goodies for extra flavour.

Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water. Sauté the leeks and bacon for a few minutes until the bacon is cooked. Add the thyme, and season well. Add the potatoes to a casserole dish, cover them with the leeks and bacon, pour over the cream and top with cheese. Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes. Serves 4.
