Join me and let's see how to make Aligot

Instructions:

Step 1

Boil the potato chunks in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, usually about 15-20 minutes. Drain them well.

Step 2

In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and minced garlic over low heat until it's warm but not boiling.

Step 3

Return the cooked potatoes to the pot and mash them thoroughly. While still hot, add the butter and grated cheeses. Mix until the cheese is completely melted and the potatoes are smooth and stretchy.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the warm garlic-infused cream while stirring continuously until the mixture is creamy and homogenous. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
