The genius of this recipe lies in its cooking method: thinly sliced potatoes steam-cook under a cover while developing a golden crust on the bottom, and the cream sauce creates a rich, custard-like layer that binds everything together. The leeks and bacon add depth of flavor, while the cheese creates an irresistible golden top.
