• 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) white pepper
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) water
• 2 tsp (10 ml) whole-grain Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) Parmesan or Romano cheese, grated
• 1 tbsp (15 ml) cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) Fontina cheese, shredded

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp (5 ml) water (for egg wash)
• 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) sea salt

🍲 How To Make Jamie Oliver Leek And Potato Pie

1. Prepare the Oven and Pie Pan: Set your oven to preheat at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). While waiting, spray a pie pan with nonstick cooking spray to prepare it for the pie crust.
2. Cook the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them into quarter-inch thick pieces. Place these in a pot of salted boiling water and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until they are almost cooked through but still firm. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
3. Sauté the Leeks and Onion: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks, chopped onion, nutmeg, and white pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leeks and onions are tender. Pour in the water, allow it to reduce by one-third, then stir in the mustard and Parmesan cheese. Once mixed, remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Assemble the Pie: Roll out one pie crust and gently place it into your prepared pie pan. Layer half of the cooked potatoes at the bottom. Spoon half of the leek and onion mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with some cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, the rest of the leek mixture, and the Fontina cheese on top. Cover with the second pie crust and press the edges to seal.
5. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and a teaspoon of water to make the egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top crust of the pie. Poke a few small holes in the crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the top. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
6. Rest and Serve: After removing the pie from the oven, let it sit for about 10 minutes. This allows the pie to be set, making it easier to slice. Serve warm.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Choosing Potatoes: Pick a type of potato that keeps its shape when cooked, like Yukon Gold. These potatoes work best for the pie and don’t get too soft.
• Preparing Leeks: Make sure to wash the leeks well to get rid of any dirt inside. Cut them the same size so they cook at the same rate.
• Selecting Cheese: Use good-quality cheeses to improve the taste. Parmesan brings a sharp flavor, and Fontina melts really well, making the pie creamy.
• Sealing the Pie: Make sure the pie crust edges are pressed together well to keep the filling inside while it bakes. You can press the edges with a fork to make it look nice and hold better.
• Watching the Oven: Keep an eye on the pie in the last 10 minutes of baking. If the top gets too brown, cover it with some aluminum foil to stop it from burning.
