Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Low fat milk
• 1 cup Reduced-fat Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the Yukon Gold potatoes and chopping them into even chunks to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Add the low fat milk and chopped garlic to the potatoes in the pot and mash until smooth using a potato masher or hand mixer.

Step 7

Place the pot over low heat and add the reduced-fat Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese into the mashed potatoes.

Step 8

Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the cheese melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and stretchy.

Step 9

Season the aligot with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring until well combined.

Step 10

Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the aligot before serving for a fresh touch.

Step 11

Serve the low fat aligot hot as a creamy and cheesy side dish.
