How to Make Leek Potato And Bacon Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet. Set bacon aside.
  3. Melt butter in the same skillet. Add leeks and garlic and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, cooked leeks, and bacon. Season generously with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Pour cream mixture over the potato mixture and toss gently to coat.
  7. Transfer the potato mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned.
  9. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving.
