Whipped Aligot Potatoes Recipe (with Video)

Preparing the Potatoes
1. Start by peeling and chopping 5 Yukon gold potatoes into even 1” cubes and placing them into a large saucepot.
2. Cover with cold water and a pinch of kosher salt, then bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes or until completely tender.
3. Drain the potatoes. Then, using a potato ricer, rice the potatoes into the pot.
Adding Cream, Butter, and Cheese
1. Once mashed (riced), add in 8 ounces of heavy cream and 4 ounces of unsalted butter. Whisk together.
2. Slowly and in batches add and mix in about 12 ounces of the swiss cheese of choice.
3. Once incorporated, whisk together until the cheese and starch of the potatoes have created a stretchy consistency (halfway between mashed potatoes and fondue).
Seasoning
1. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
