Pommes Aligot Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). This ensures they cook uniformly.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).

3. 3

   Drain and Mash

   Once tender, drain the potatoes thoroughly. Return them to the pot and mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.

4. 4

   Heat the Cream and Butter

   In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not let it boil.

5. 5

   Incorporate the Cheese

   Gradually mix in the warm cream and butter mixture into the mashed potatoes until fully incorporated. Stir in the white cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth.

6. 6

   Season to Taste

   Season your aligot with black pepper and additional salt, if needed. Stir well to combine.

7. 7

   Serve

   Transfer the pommes aligot to a serving bowl. Optionally, top with a sprinkle of additional cheese or fresh herbs for garnish.
