Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
6 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 small leeks, white and light green parts only, cut in half lengthwise, thinly sliced
Kosher or sea salt
1 1/2 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup grated Alpine style cheese (such as Gruyere)
In a medium size cast iron fry pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium low heat. Add leeks and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until leeks are silky and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove to a plate. Wipe fry pan clean.
Rinse potatoes well, but dont peel. Shred on a box grater. Place shredded potatoes on a clean dishtowel and sprinkle with another generous pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Toss potatoes with your hands to season. Gather towel corners together and twist (over a bowl or sink) to remove as much moisture as possible.
In the still warm fry pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add half of the shredded potatoes in an even layer; press them into the pan. Add leeks and cheese in even layers. Add remaining potatoes, pressing them into the pan.
Cover the pan and cook until potatoes are golden brown on the bottom (peek with a spatula), 8 to 10 minutes. Turn a plate (larger than the pan) over on top of the potatoes. Place your hand firmly on top of the plate and carefully flip the pan so the potato cake is on the plate.
Heat remaining oil until shimmering. Slide potato cake back into pan, raw side down; cover, and cook 8 to 10 minutes. Slide from pan and let rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.
