Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2 quart baking dish or gratin pan.

  • Melt butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers, onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and leeks and stir to coat. Turn potato mixture into prepared pan. Top with reserved American cheese and the remaining Parmesan.
