Leeks?

Leeks seem to be good value at the moment - must be that time of year again.  I usually just roast them, or bung them in soups, but would love to use them in a different way.

While trying to find inspiration I stumbled across potato gratin and thought why the hell not add leek?  Maybe you do already, but here's my way:

Potato and Leek Gratin
Preheat oven to 180c and boil 500g sliced potatoes for about 2 minutes, add in 500g trimmed, sliced leeks and cook for 2 minutes .  Drain and leave in an ovenproof dish.  Mix 300ml milk with 300ml vegetable stock and pour over.  Dot in a little virtually fat free cream cheese.  Cook for 30 minutes then uncover.  Turn the oven up to 200c and cook for further 10 minutes until golden.
