Aligot Garlic And Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipes

POMMES ALIGOT (CHEESY MASHED POTATOES) RECIPE

Steps:

• Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve right away. Aligot is traditionally served with sausages and meats, but you can also serve it with roasted vegetables or on a bed of polenta. Leftover aligot can be refrigerated in a sealed container. To reheat, add to a saucepan with a small amount of cream. Bring cream to a simmer before stirring it in, then continue to cook, adding more cream as necessary, until aligot is heated through and consistency is correct.

ALIGOT (MASHED POTATOES WITH CHEESE)

Steps:

• Simmer the potatoes in water until very tender to the point of a knife, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes, and tip out any remaining water from the pot. Push the hot potatoes through a ricer back into the pot. Over low heat, use a heatproof spatula to move the potatoes around the pot for a minute so that any excess water can evaporate.
• Add butter to the potatoes, half at a time, stirring until completely incorporated. Add hot cream, half at a time, stirring until incorporated. Add cheese a little bit at a time, stirring vigorously, until all the cheese is evenly melted and the spoon makes cheesy strings as you pull it away from the potatoes. If necessary, turn the heat up a little. Taste, and season with salt. Serve.

ALIGOT (CHEESY POTATOES) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the potatoes, garlic, and cover with cold water. Add a big pinch of salt.
• Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Drain potatoes and garlic in a colander and press them through the holes of the colander with a metal spoon back into the pot. Alternatively, use a potato ricer.
• Add the butter and one clove of garlic to the potatoes and stir over medium-low heat with a rubber spatula until melted and smooth.
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir again until combined.
• Gradually add in the cheese, stirring between each addition, until completely melted.
• Continue stirring the potatoes until smooth, thick, and elastic.
• Begin to stretch the potatoes upwards with the spatula. If the mixture is breaking, add in more cheese. If the mixture is too thick add in more cream.
• Serve immediately as a side with roasted veggies or a meat of choice, or alone with fresh chopped garlic!
• Enjoy!

ALIGOT (GARLIC AND CHEESE MASHED POTATOES) RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Place the cut potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover by 1 inch and add 1 tablespoon salt. Partially cover the saucepan with a lid and bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender and just break apart when poked with a fork, 12 to 17 minutes. Drain the potatoes and dry the saucepan. 2. Transfer the potatoes to a food processor; add the butter, garlic, and 1-1/2 tsp salt. Pulse until the butter is melted and incorporated into the potatoes, about 10 pulses. Add 1 cup of the milk and continue to process until the potatoes are smooth and creamy, about 20 seconds, scraping down the sides halfway through. 3. Return the potato mixture to the saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir in the cheeses, 1 cup at a time, until incorporated. Continue to cook the potatoes, stirring vigorously, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and elastic, 3 to 5 minutes. If the mixture is difficult to stir and seems thick, stir in the remaining milk, 2 tablespoons at a time, until the potatoes are loose and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
