Pomme Aligote Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

2. 2

   Cook the Potatoes

   Bring the pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add a generous pinch of salt and reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

3. 3

   Drain and Mash

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to steam off excess moisture. Mash the potatoes until smooth.

4. 4

   Add Cream and Butter

   In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream and butter until the butter melts. Gradually fold the warm cream mixture into the mashed potatoes until well combined.

5. 5

   Incorporate the Cheese

   Add the grated Comté cheese to the potato mixture in batches, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the Pomme Aligote warm, either as a side dish or as a comforting main.
