Cook the onions in the butter for 2-3 minutes until softened. Pour the cream over the sliced potatoes in a pan. Add the garlic and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to the boil then stir in the leeks and onions. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish to a depth of 4 cm (1 1\/2 in), covering with all the cream. Place the dish into a roasting tray filled with very hot water and bake in the pre-heated oven for 1 hour until the potatoes are cooked through and golden brown on top. To check the potatoes during cooking, just pierce with a small vegetable knife. When it goes through easily you will know they are cooked. Remove the dish from the hot water. As a finish you can top with the grated Cheddar and glaze under a hot grill until golden brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 lb. leeks 2 onions, sliced 1 oz. unsalted butter 1 pint double cream 1 lb. potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 1 small garlic clove, crushed 2 oz.
