- . Pre-heat the oven to 350F. Position the rack in the center of the oven. Generously butter a 9x9inch heat proof casserole dish.
- . > Potato mash: In a very large pot, place the peeled, whole potatoes at the base. Add the salt, Laurier leaves and the stock. Add enough water to just surpass the potatoes by 1 inch. Cover the pot and bring the potatoes to the boiling stage (about 8-10 minutes). Reduce the heat to MEDIUM-LOW and cook for another 25 minutes or until fork tender.
- . Prepare a very large bowl with the Dijon mustard, butter and olive oil placed at the base.
- . Remove the Laurier leaves and with a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes into the bowl. Begin mashing the potatoes before gradually adding in enough hot stock to realize a thick, smooth potato mash to your liking. With a solid spatula, add and fold in the dried herbs and spices. Note: the little remaining stock can serve for another recipe later on. For example: a small soup, part of stock for a Risotto etc.
- . > Assembly: At the bottom of the prepared dish, Spoon in and spread a thick layer of mashed potatoes, followed by a layer of ham, the mix of three cheeses and then the beans. Repeat two more times finishing off with a layer of potatoes. With the spatula, indent a few waves on the surface of the mashed potatoes.
- . Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
