INSTRUCTIONS

Scrub Jerusalem artichokes well with a stiff vegetable brush.  Preheat
the oven to 350Â°F. Using 1 teaspoon of the butter, grease a  9-inch
glass pie plate and a 12-inch square of foil.  In a medium skillet,
melt 1 teaspoon of the butter. Add the leek and  cook over moderately
high heat until softened but still green, about  2 minutes. Transfer
the leek to a plate.  Melt the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter in the
skillet and add the  bread crumbs. Cook, stirring, until coated and
lightly browned.  Transfer the crumbs to a plate and toss with the
Gruyere cheese.  Layer half of the Jerusalem artichoke slices in the
prepared pie  plate and season with salt and pepper. Cover with half of
the leek  slices, reserving the nicest slices for the top. Season with
salt and  pepper and repeat with the remaining Jerusalem artichokes,
leek and  sweet potato. Pour the cream evenly over the top.  Cover the
pie plate with the foil, buttered side down, and bake for 30  minutes,
or until bubbling and the vegetables are just tender. Remove  the foil
and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Sprinkle  the crumbs
on top and bake for 20 minutes longer, or until golden.  Let stand for
15 minutes before serving.  Per serving: 315 Calories; 21g Fat (60%
