Ingredients
1 leek, finely chopped3-4 medium potatoes, cut up1 cup soy milk (I use soy for lactose intolerant husband)2 T. whole wheat flour1/2 onion, chopped1/3 cup shredded cheese3/4 cup bread crumbssaltpepperthyme
Preheat oven to 375deg F.
Cut up potatoes and boil them for about ten minutes or until they break when you poke them with a fork. While these are boiling, chop up the leek and onion. Heat the oil in skillet/pan, and saute the leeks and onions for about 5 minutes.
When the potatoes are done, drain them. To add some taste but also calories, you could add some butter/milk to the potatoes at this point and smash them up a bit. I just smashed them a bit with a fork.
In a sauce pan (I used my potato pan once they were done), heat the milk, add the flour and spices/salt/pepper, and stir vigorously with a fork while it thickens. When thickened, pour over leeks/onions and stir together (off the heat).
Now spray casserole dish (9x13) with olive oil or nostick spray. Spread 1/4 cup bread crumbs in bottom of dish. Spread half the potatoes into a layer in the dish. Add half the leeks/onions/white sauce. Sprinkle with most of the cheese. Repeat layers with rest of potatoes, leek mix, and cheese. Top with the rest of the bread crumbs. Bake at 375 deg F for about 45 min. Yum!!

This was good. I used very large potatos so I should have probably doubled the sauce... regardless it was delicious! Will use more sauce or less potato next time! - 8/5/10

Thanks! Who knew that milk and flour can be concocted into great sauces!

This looks good... but why is it labeled lactose free when it calls for cheese? - 7/17/10

Oh I'm so sorry - I used veggie cheese (made of soy) but forgot to use it in the ingredients/calorie calculation. So sorry! I'll remove the label :)
