Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds leeks
3 large onions, sliced (about 6 cups)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 russet (baking) potatoes (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
paprika to taste

Steps:

  • Trim leeks, discarding dark green part, and halve lengthwise. Cut leeks crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and in a large bowl of cold water wash well. Drain leeks.
  • In a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet cook leeks and onions in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add flour and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add broth in a stream, stirring, and simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste and remove skillet from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise. Arrange each potato flat side down and make crosswise slices about 1/4 inch apart, cutting down to about 1/4 inch from flat side but not all the way through (a metal skewer inserted lengthwise about 1/4 inch from flat side will prevent slicing all the way through). Remove skewer if using.
  • Arrange potato halves, flat sides down, in leek mixture and bring mixture to a simmer. Brush potatoes with butter and sprinkle with paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Bake mixture in lower third of oven 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender within and crisp and golden on top.

I'm going to try this recipe with different vegetables next time. I think it would be good with carrots, parsnips, or turnips.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like boiled potatoes.

I think this recipe would be even better if you used a different type of cheese. I think a sharp cheddar cheese would be a good choice.

The creamed leeks were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would prefer them if they were a bit lighter.

I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think there are easier ways to make roasted potatoes.

These potato fans were a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I would prefer them if they were a bit softer.
