Place potatoes in a steamer basket in a pan with water. Begin by trimming the leeks, discarding the tough outer layer. Now split them in half lengthways and slice them quite finely, then wash them thoroughly in two or three changes of water. Peel and slice the potatoes into very thin rounds. Layer half of the potatoes in the buttered dish, then layer half of the cooked leeks over the potatoes.
