Steps
Sequence Step
1Preheat oven to 400º. Melt butter in a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium high heat. Add leeks and garlic; sauté 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Stir in rosemary, sea salt and pepper.
2Add potatoes, heavy cream and light cream to leek mixture in pan, stirring gently to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered 10 to 15 minutes or until potatoes are barely tender (Do not overcook. Potatoes will be pliable, but not fully cooked.)
3Spoon half of potato mixture into a lightly greased 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup Gruyere cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Top with remaining potato mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheeses. (May be covered and refrigerated overnight. Let come to room temperature before baking.)
4Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown. Garnish, if desired. Makes 8 servings.
