Aligot Yukon Potato Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches in size.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat the Cream and Butter

   In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and unsalted butter. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot, but not boiling.

4. 4

   Mash the Potatoes

   Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   Incorporate the Cheese

   Gradually add the hot cream and butter mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously. Then, fold in the shredded Gruyère cheese until melted and smooth.

6. 6

   Season the Aligot

   Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the finely chopped chives for added flavor and garnish.

7. 7

   Serve

   Transfer the Aligot Yukon Potato to a serving dish and serve immediately, garnished with extra chives if desired.
