Instructions
- Peel, quarter, and thickly slice the potatoes.
- Add them to a medium-sized pot of boiling salted water.
- In the meantime, shred the cheese or cheeses.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them.
- Transfer the drained potatoes to a food mill or ricer and mill the potatoes into the drained medium-sized pot.
- Return the pot to the burner over low heat and add in the butter, heated cream, garlic, and half of the shredded cheese. Vigorously stir using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Once the butter is melted, vigorously stir in the remaining cheese until it becomes very stretchy, like mozzarella, when pulled on.
- Adjust seasonings with coarse salt and ground white pepper.
- Serve with no garnish in a bowl.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make these up to 1 hour ahead of time. Just keep covered and warm over very low heat.
- How to Store: They can be stored in the refrigerator covered in plastic for up to 4 days. They can also be frozen and covered for up to 2 months. However, they will lose quite a bit of moisture and flavor if frozen.
- How To Reheat: To reheat the pommes aligot, add your desired portion to a small saucepot with a bit of butter or milk and heat over low heat until hot.
- Seasoning the boiling water should be as salty as the ocean.
- I always know when the potatoes are done. When I pierce them with a fork, I hold them up, and they slide right off.
