Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Low fat milk
- 1 cup Reduced-fat Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Instructions
Begin by peeling the Yukon Gold potatoes and chopping them into even chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Add the low fat milk and chopped garlic to the potatoes in the pot and mash until smooth using a potato masher or hand mixer.
Place the pot over low heat and add the reduced-fat Swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese into the mashed potatoes.
Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula until the cheese melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and stretchy.
Season the aligot with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the aligot before serving for a fresh touch.
Serve the low fat aligot hot as a creamy and cheesy side dish.
