Aligot (Cheesy Potatoes)

Aligot (Cheesy Potatoes)

              Ingredients                                               Yield: Serves Around 5-6 People

• 1 Kg (Around 5-6)     Potatoes
• 500g (3-4 Cups)        Grated Fresh Mozzarella/Gruyère                                    Cheese
• 30g (2 Tbsp)             Butter
• 30ml (2 Tbsp)           Warm Milk or Cream
• Pinch                       Salt and Pepper
• 2 Cloves                   Garlic (Optional)

            Instructions

1. Peel and boil potatoes in a pot. If you wish to add garlic to the dish, throw it in while the potatoes boil. 
2. Strain the potatoes once they have become tender. Mash until mostly smooth, or use a food mill. 
3. Make sure the potatoes are still hot when you add the butter and milk or cream. If your potatoes are cooling down, you can place the pot back onto the stove, over low heat. 
4. Gradually add the cheese, and continue stirring until it has all been incorporated and melted completely. Your potatoes should become very stretchy. 
5. If you find the potatoes are too thick and stiff, you can thing it out with a bit more liquid. 
6. Be sure to serve your Aligot hot, because when it cools, it will lose it's stretchiness.

Enjoy!
