Wash thoroughly. Peel the potatoes and cut into 2½ cm/1 inch chunks. Simmer together with the leeks in boiling salted water for 30-35 minutes or until very soft. Drain the vegetables, then mash together until they resemble a puree of potatoes. Mix in the grated cheese and the vinegar, with salt and pepper to taste. An alternative version is to halve the amount of potatoes, and to cook the vegetables in a mixture of white wine and water.
