Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 375°F. Slice the potatoes about 1/8 inch thick and set aside.

2. 2

   Heat up the oil in a 12 inch oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and ground beef and cook for about 8 minutes, season with salt and pepper, breaking up the meat, until browned and softened. Pour off excess fat if you prefer.

3. 3

   Add the taco seasoning + water per packet instructions. Stir for a minute, then stir in the leek and cook 3 minutes, until soft and fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the broth and scrape up the browned bits. Bring to a simmer, lower the heat, then stir in 1 cup of cream.

5. 5

   Drain and dry the potatoes, then fold them in until mostly submerged. Top with 1/2 cup of cream. Cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes, until just shy of tender.

6. 6

   Remove the lid, scatter the cheese over everything, and bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes until bubbling at the edges and browned. Broil 2 minutes with the door cracked if it needs color.

7. 7

   Let it rest 10 minutes before serving.
