Potato And Leek Gratin

Directions

1. In a small pan hot the lowfat milk over a very low heat with 2 sprigs of thyme.
2. Do this while preparing the rest of the dish, but don't allow the lowfat milk to boil.
3. Peel and very thinly slice the potatoes then swirl around under running water in a colander to wash away some of the starch. Trim and wash leeks and also slice thinly. Crush the garlic clove and grate the cheese.
4. Grease a shallow gratin dish with the butter and then arrange layers of potato and leek with a little of the garlic, nutmeg and seasoning. Remove the thyme from the lowfat milk and lay over the vegetables, then sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in a moderate oven till golden.
