This dish is a definite keeper! My husband told me over and over how much he liked it. It was delicious! I think I’ll try the Olive Oil next time and see how it tastes. I cut up everything in advance and also made the truffle butter in advance. Then it’s just cooking the leeks and the potatoes and assemble!
