Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Nut milk (unsweetened, plain, almond or oat)
• 3 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cups Vegan mozzarella shreds
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the russet potatoes into large chunks, ensuring they are even in size for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add the garlic cloves, gently smashed but left whole.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander. Return them to the pot and allow any remaining water to evaporate on low heat, shaking the pot occasionally.

Step 5

Remove the pot from heat and mash the potatoes and garlic until smooth, using a potato masher or ricer for a creamy texture.

Step 6

In a separate small saucepan, heat the nut milk, vegan butter, salt, and black pepper over low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is warm, but not boiling.

Step 7

Gradually add the warm milk mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring constantly to combine.

Step 8

Add the vegan mozzarella shreds and nutritional yeast to the potato mixture and return the pot to low heat.

Step 9

Stir well to melt the cheese and integrate it fully, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth and stretchy. This may take a few minutes of stirring.

Step 10

Season the aligot to taste, adjusting salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 11

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
