Julia Child's Best Potato Dish
  1. Begin by finely chopping a leek.

  2. Next, peel and grate a potato, then place it in a bowl.

  3. Use a tea towel to drain the moisture from the shredded potatoes.

  4. In a pan, combine the grated potatoes with a knob of butter, the chopped leeks, and a pinch of salt, cooking for about 10 minutes until the mixture is soft.

  5. Grate the Gruyere cheese.

  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the two eggs, grated Gruyere, parsley, rosemary, thyme, heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and fresh cracked pepper.

  7. Fold the cooked potato mixture into the egg and cheese blend, mixing thoroughly.

  8. Transfer the combined mixture into a buttered baking dish and dot the top with a bit more butter.

  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the dish is set.

  10. Allow the dish to rest for a minute before serving.
