Instructions
- 1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C Fan/ Gas Mark 6).
- 2.Line a 9-inch tart tin with the shortcrust pastry. Prick the base with a fork and blind bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- 3.While the pastry is baking, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain well and slice thinly.
- 4.Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook gently for 5-7 minutes, or until softened but not browned. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to cool slightly.
- 5.In a bowl, whisk together the double cream, milk, eggs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the fresh thyme, if using.
- 6.Arrange the sliced Jersey Royal potatoes and cooked leeks evenly over the base of the partially baked pastry case.
- 7.Pour the custard mixture over the potatoes and leeks, ensuring it fills the tart case evenly.
- 8.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the custard is set and golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover with foil.
- 9.Remove from the oven and let the tart cool slightly in the tin before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef's Tips
For a richer flavor, use Gruyère cheese instead of Parmesan.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the custard for a warm, aromatic note.
If you don't have Jersey Royals, other small waxy potatoes will work well.
You can parboil the potatoes ahead of time to save time on the day.
