Cheesy Potato Leek Casserole Bake image

I threw this one together one night when I was in the mood for a new side dish...and I had lots of potatoes and leeks, but didn't feel like making soup. If you're in a hurry, a thawed bag of diced hash brown potatoes works well! (Cook time includes boiling potatoes.)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 cups potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes (about 2 1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 medium leeks, thinly sliced
1 large tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 teaspoon paprika

1 cup evaporated milk
2 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a large pot, boil diced potatoes for about 15 minutes or just until tender (not mushy!). Drain; then rinse with cold water and drain again. Place drained potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over med-high heat. Add garlic and leeks and sauté just until leeks become tender. Add diced tomato, salt, pepper, paprika and parsley; stir well.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Stir in evaporated milk, cream cheese, and sour cream until well-blended.
  • Stir in shredded cheeses; combine well. Pour over drained potatoes and gently toss to coat.
  • Pour into lightly sprayed 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake; uncovered at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until top begins to slightly brown.
