We made it through January! Oh, it wasn't easy by any means, and I know I have been a bit absent here on the Spoons lately, but y'all that flu took me down for weeks and there wasn't much 'food talk' around here, I tell you! But, February is here, and it arrived with a bit of snow and gloomy days, and when it gets so outside, I want to compensate that with sunny and colorful plates, food that will cheer me up, is tasty, and all kinds of good. 
This particular side dish might not be the healthiest, with cream and cheese and potatoes in it. But I served it on the side of a herb crusted roasted turkey breast, so that gave it some balance, or so I told myself since I really had been craving carbs the whole time I was sick and I finally had the energy to do something about it.

The recipe is really simple, and if you have a mandoline to cut the veggies with, the preparation of the dish could take even less time. Just remember, safety first!

To make a one medium size casserole that feeds about two adults and two children I used 
- one large sweet potato 
- one large baking potato 
- leeks 
- one cup of cream
- one cup of shredded cheese mix of mozzarella and sharp cheddar
- a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper and sea salt

I cut the veggies into a large cut julienne, or we can call it super sized fresh fries. 
The leeks of course into thin strips, and mixed them all well in a casserole dish.
I ground a lot of black pepper on top, added sea salt. Remember that potatoes do soak a lot of salt into them. 
I poured the cream evenly on top of the veggies in the casserole dish and added the cheese mix on top of everything.
I set it into a pre-heated oven (225C / 430F) for an hour, next to the turkey breast in an oven bag. 
While baking the veggies soaked cream into them, and the consistency of the dish is like any other casserole when done.

After the casserole and the turkey were done, I let them sit while I steamed some peas, and the meal was ready to be served. Oh, it was tasty! 
I hope you enjoy it as well. Until next time
~ Cheers!
