Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1- to 2-inch chunks for quicker, even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes and the garlic cloves in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and garlic thoroughly, then return them to the warm pot to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, heat the butter, heavy cream, and whole milk together in a saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes and garlic back into the pot. Avoid using a food processor or blender to prevent a gluey texture.

Step 6

Place the pot of mashed potatoes over low heat, stirring constantly. Gradually add the warm cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 7

Add the shredded Gruyère and mozzarella cheese a handful at a time, stirring vigorously to create a stretchy, smooth texture. Continue until all the cheese is fully melted and integrated.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately while hot and stretchy for the best texture. Enjoy this luxurious Potatoes Puree Aligot as a side dish or centerpiece of your meal.
