Equipment

  • Pie dish

  • Mandoline or knife

  • Bowl

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 round pie crust

  • 1 large leek

  • 3 middle-sized potatoes

  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

  • Thyme

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 100 g cream

  • 4 tablespoons grated cheese

  • 2 tablespoons ricotta (optional)

Instructions

1

Prep the potatoes

Rinse the potatoes and the leek. With the help of a mandoline, thinly slice the potatoes. Transfer them to a bowl, season with 2 tablespoon olive oil, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir them with your hands so they get evenly coated and set aside.
2

Cook the leek

Slice the leek through the mandoline, transfer to a colander, and rinse it well under running water to remove all the impurities. Drain from the water and gently pat it dry. Transfer to a skillet with the remaining olive oil. Heat over low-medium heat, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and add a teaspoon of maple syrup. Cook for a few minutes, until it starts to wilt. Then take off the heat and set aside to cool down.
3

Make the cheese cream

In a small bowl, mix together the grated cheese and cream. Adjust with salt and pepper and mix again.
4

Compose the pie

Pre-heat the oven to 190 C degrees (~374 F). Lay the crust in the dish, making sure that all the sides are covered. With a fork, pierce the bottom of the pie. Lay the cream to cover the bottom of the crust. Then, spoon in the leek. Add a little ricotta cheese (if desired). Finally, top with the potato slices.
5

Bake

Bake the pie for 45 minutes. When ready, take out of the oven and set aside for 15 minutes to settle. Enjoy!
