    Potato & Leek Bake

    5 tbsp. butter, divided
    2 lg. leeks, sliced
    2 tbsp. minced garlic
    2 lbs. baking potatoes, peeled (about 4 medium)
    1 c. heavy cream
    1 c. milk
    3 eggs
    2 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. pepper
    3 slices day-old dense white bread
    2 oz. shredded Parmesan cheese

    Oven 375F

    Preheat oven to 375F. Generously grease shallow 10 cup baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter; set aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and garlic. Cook and stir 8 to 10 minutes or until leeks are softened. Remove from heat; set aside.

    Cut potatoes crosswise into 1/16 inch slices. Layer half the potato slices and top with half the leek mixture. Repeat layers. Whisk cream, milk, eggs, salt and pepper in medium bowl until well blended; pour over vegetables in the baking dish.

    To prepare bread crumbs, cut bread slices into 1 inch pieces and place in food processor; process until fine crumbs form. Measure 3/4 cup crumbs; place in a small bowl and mix with Parmesan cheese. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter and add to crumb mixture; stir. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over vegetables.

    Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until top is golden and potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 6 to 8 servings
