Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet; sauté chopped leeks until very lightly browned. Put leeks in a large saucepan with diced potatoes; add just enough water to cover.

Add about 1/2 cup of potato soup mixture to the egg yolk, stirring constantly. Return mixture to potato soup in pot and mix to blend well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
