Easy Potato Casserole #SP5

Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. I think this is one of easier recipes to follow and put together that I make and it taste good to. I scaled it down from a recipe that was given to me about twenty years ago, and added leeks. Just make sure you clean the sliced leeks in water.
