Mashed potatoes are usual mainstays during meals. Why not try something different today and make French-style mashed potatoes. This will definitely be the star of your meal!
 
 
Ingredients  
 
1 kilogram potatoes 
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
400 grams Cantal cheese, shredded
220 grams heavy cream
Salt
Cracked pepper
 
 
Instructions
 
  1. Peel and wash potatoes.

  2. Fill a large pot with salted water. Add potatoes and garlic.

  3. Bring to the boil and cook 20-25 minutes. Strain and return to pot.

  4. Over low heat, add cream and cheese to potatoes, stirring constantly, making sure not to overcook.

  5. After a few minutes, puree should come together. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

 
 
Notes: Aligot is a star side dish, and is how the French do mashed potatoes. From the Aubrac region, this is a divine combination of garlic, cream, butter and potatoes – it is the proper way to eat mashed potatoes.
