Pommes Aligot
Supremely cheesy mashed potatoes
These aren’t your average mashed potatoes—Pommes Aligot is a classic French dish that’s a twist on this traditional creamy side. From the Midi-Pyrenees region, this age-old creation is typically served for special occasions, accompanied by similar hearty dishes like sausage and roasted meats. While it can be made with a number of meltable cheeses, we’ve selected our beloved cave aged Gruyère as the star of this mouthwatering mash. Nutty and sweet with notes of caramel, it’s an Alpine favorite that perfectly complements the rich potatoes and chives garnish.
