Best 7 Artichoke Leek And Potato Casserole Recipes

LEEK AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an oval baking dish. Drain the leeks and rinse.
• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and thyme, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the leeks are softened and golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Peel and slice the potatoes into very thin rounds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer half of the potatoes in the buttered dish, then layer half of the cooked leeks over the potatoes. Repeat the layers.
• Return the skillet to medium heat and add the cream cheese, cream, chicken stock and garlic. Stir together, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes so the cheese melts. Pour the cream mixture over the leeks and potatoes and top with the grated cheese.
• Cover with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the cheese is bubbly and golden, 15 to 20 minutes more. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

LEEK AND ARTICHOKE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the bread cubes on a sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes, tossing once, until lightly browned. Place the pancetta in one layer on another sheet pan and bake in the same oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Place the pancetta on a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Soak the leeks in water until they're clean, and spin them dry in a salad spinner. Heat the butter in an 11-inch pot over medium heat; add the leeks and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook for 5 minutes, until the wine almost evaporates and the leeks are tender. Off the heat, mix in the artichokes, toasted bread cubes, chives and tarragon.
• Whisk the eggs, cream, chicken stock, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl. Spoon half of the bread mixture into a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half the Emmentaler and add the remaining bread mixture. Pour on the cream mixture, sprinkle with the remaining Emmentaler and press lightly to help the bread absorb the liquid. Dice or crumble the pancetta, scatter on top and sprinkle with pepper. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the cream mixture. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the custard is set and the bread pudding is puffed and golden. Serve hot.

HAM, ARTICHOKE, AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
• Cover bottom of baking dish with 1/3 of potato slices, overlapping as needed. Layer 1/3 of ham over. Scatter 1/3 of leeks over, then 1/3 of artichoke hearts. Measure 3/4 cup cheese; set aside. Sprinkle half of remaining cheese over. Repeat layering 1 time with potato slices, ham, leeks, artichokes, and cheese. Cover with remaining potato slices, ham, leeks, and artichoke hearts.
• Whisk broth and next 4 ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat until flour dissolves. Bring mixture to boil; cook until smooth and thickened, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Pour over gratin. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese over. Cover gratin with foil, tenting in center to prevent cheese from sticking. Bake gratin 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until potatoes are soft, topping is browned, and juices are bubbling, about 50 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before serving.

ARTICHOKE, POTATO, AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl.
• Place a large pot half filled with water over high heat.
• Add the artichokes and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer just until the artichokes are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Remove the artichokes from the pot, reserving the cooking water, and allow them to cool.
• The best way to do this is to turn them upside down on your drainboard-all the excess water will drain out and they'll cool quickly.
• Boil the potatoes in the water in which the artichokes were cooked just until they're tender, about 35 to 40 minutes, reserving 1 cup of the water (or if most of the cooking water has evaporated, add enough water to measure 1 cup).
• Peel the potatoes and dice enough into 1/2 inch cubes to measure 1 cup firmly packed: slice the remainder into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
• Set aside.
• You may be tempted to eat all the artichokes yourself right now, but resist!
• Inside every leaf there's a small amount of pulp-the good part.
• To get it out, with your thumb on the back of a teaspoon, scrape the pulp off the inside of the leaf, always scraping away from yourself.
• Reserve the pulp and discard the leaves.
• Scrape out and discard the choke, the fuzzy section underneath all the little leaves, and be sure to get it all.
• Peel the stems and dice the hearts and stems into bite-sized pieces.
• Arrange the artichoke stems, hearts, and pulp and the potato slices in a 9x13 inch casserole, alternating layers of potato and artichoke.
• Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350*F.
• Melt the butter in a 3-quart pot over high heat.
• When the butter sizzles, add the onions, ginger, serrano peppers, and seasoning mix.
• Stir and cook, and when the onions begin to brown, about 6 minutes, add the diced potatoes.
• Reduce the heat to medium if necessary to prevent burning.
• Cook, stirring and mashing the potatoes constantly, until the mixture becomes thick, fairly dry, and brown, about 4 minutes.
• Add the reserved cooking water and cook, continuing to stir, for 6 minutes.
• Add the tamari and cook for 5 minutes, stirring vigorously and mashing the potatoes until they disintegrate.
• The mixture should be a rich brown color.
• Stir in the heavy cream, bring to a boil, then add the mozzarella cheese.
• Stir and remove from the heat.
• Pour this sauce over the artichokes and potatoes in the casserole and top with the Cheddar cheese.
• Bake until the cheese is a beautiful golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Serve hot.
