Chef JP, huge fan, been subscribing since you had 600k followers! You have made my cooking so much better over the years! Thanks for all the great tips! My hack is I never peel those potatoes, with your ricer the peels won’t go through the mess, only that sweet goodness, I have always done only two or three potatoes at a time, clean out peels after each squeeze, I have never gotten any peels in any of my mash! Plus you don’t have to play HOT POTATO! Look forward to and Love every Monday and Thursday! Keep up the great work! Home cook JON In Illinois

[@clicquot2271]

I was SO excited when I saw the title of this KZbin in my notifications! Potatoes Aligot is an all-time favorite of mine at a local French restaurant. Do not dismiss these as just cheesy mashed potatoes. Chef Jean-Pierre inspired me to find a local cheese shop to get the Tomme. Turns out it’s only a couple of miles away! Looks like it can go by a few different names: Tomme de Savoie, Tomme (or Tome) d'Auvergne, de Laguiole or de l’Aubrac, and Tomme Fraiche. Comté, mozzarella or cheddar are probably ok alternatives, but you’ll lose the signature depth of flavor and texture. If you don’t have a local cheesemonger, Amazon has Tomme de Savoie. Here’s what I found (pricey but worth it) at least once! > Tomme de Savoie Semi-Firm Cow's Milk French Cheese from France Wedge - 1lb / $ 61.95 > Tomme de Savoie French Cheese Full Wheel (4 Ibs.) by Chabert $74.97 > Tomme de Savoie French Aged Cheese - Per Pound: $22.98 + $18.99 delivery

[@megalicious84]

My husband is a huge fan of Jean Pierre and was so excited to try this recipe! We used Fontina and Gruyere and it tasted amazing! Our only "bump" was we don't have a potato ricer and he used the cheese grater... It was a painful process. It made the texture terrible but the flavor was amazing and I ate it up even though the texture made it not a good time for me!!! I think we'll try russet potatoes next time for less rough texture.

[@johnnybravo8605]

Thank you very much Chef! Never been into cooking, until I saw this channel. Not only I broke myself down to trying new things not to mention that my cooking skills got a lot better. Went from putting ketchup on store market frozen margeritta and call it good dinner to doing very good medium rare steak (well done for my mom which she just needs, wont even touch anything pinky :D) with french fries and coleslaw from Your recipes. Everyone was delighted and stunned by how good those were remebering that I usually putted ketchup on everything that I putted into my mouth. Amazing free knowledge.

[@hochhoch-pu2gd]

A very beautiful, welcome variation of what we in GER like to call NATO-Lute :-) Run-of-the-mill we used to have it seasoned with nutmeg, salt & pepper with fried onions on top. Lacking a (maybe) better cheese I used grated parmesan and also added some chives. Served it with the Chicken Kiev (1:1 from this channel). Tell you what: I was declared a “Chef”. Some much fun and awakening of experimenting by looking at your videos and hearing the little sidenotes in these presentations. Simple, perfect fit, gorgeous. Many thanks for all efforts you spend here, JP!!!

[@dirtydawg448]

Secret to great mashed potatoes is a decent ricer like the one he used here - boil the potatoes - put them through the ricer and back in the saucepan with large bit of butter and stir in some double cream - a good added extra is thinly sliced spring onion - quick and easy - my ricer is smaller than the one used here and it’s steel and cuts through the potatoes easily and there is a lot less waste making it easier to clean - I am going to try the cheese but I know it works because I use it with this recipe shown here when doing jacket potatoes - cook the jacket pots until the skin goes crispy and then scoop the inside out and put it through the ricer add the cheese and butter and stir it in a saucepan - then load the skins up with the potato and put them back in the oven for five to ten minutes - va va voom!

[@toddkoz6483]

Made them tonight just cuz they looked so good when you did, with chicken Parm the way you do. We ate for like an hour it was so amazing. Chicken Parm your way is the best and now these potatoes are crazy good yes the best you'll ever have even first try making them... Thank you!

I’m from England and love mashed potatoes. The only thing different is adding cheese to this. I also understand whisking the potatoes, can use butter or cream, like wise. Try using fried garlic and thyme, maybe some smoked bacon gives it another twist. Lemon pepper is nice also. Above all, mashed potatoes are mashed potatoes. Put what you want in them. 😂

[@sebastienfoulc8600]

While the classic Aligot calls for fresh Laguiole cheese (La tome fraîche de Laguiole) , there's no reason you can't enjoy a delicious variation! Just like Chef Jean-Pierre's demonstration showed, experimenting with different cheeses can be delightful. Personally, I prefer a bit different approach, opting for homemade vegetable broth and less of heavy cream. This adds a surprising depth of flavor to my Aligot. And don't skimp on the butter! My secret ratio is a generous 250 grams of French unsalted butter for every kilogram of cooked potatoes. One final tip: I always wait until the end to adjust the salt. The cheeses themselves often have enough sodium, and adding salt at the beginning can be a bit risky. And, since I am French and originally from a town not too far from Laguiole, allow me to share some basic information about Aligot... So, the authentic Aligot is a culinary specialty from Aubrac, a mountainous plateau located between Aveyron, Lozère, and Cantal in France. This is THE cheese region of France! Aligot is a smooth and stringy mashed potato dish made with fresh tome Laguiole cheese, milk, butter, garlic, and nutmeg. The exact origin of aligot is uncertain, but it was likely created by the farmers of Aubrac as a way to use leftover potatoes and cheese. The first written mention of aligot dates back to the 19th century, but it was probably eaten well before that. Aligot is traditionally served hot, as a side dish with sausages, grilled beef, or salads. It can also be used as a base for other dishes, such as pies or quiches. Laguiole, a village in Aveyron, is known for its production of fresh Laguiole cheese, an essential ingredient for making authentic aligot. The cheese is made from cow's milk and aged for at least four weeks. Here are some additional facts about aligot: * Aligot is often called "the poor man's dish" because it was traditionally made with inexpensive ingredients. * Aligot is a very high-calorie dish, but it's also rich in protein and calcium. * Aligot is a communal dish that's often served during social gatherings. * There are many variations of the aligot recipe, but the base ingredients are always the same: potatoes, fresh Laguiole cheese, milk, butter, garlic, and nutmeg. If you ever have the chance to visit Aubrac, don't forget to try aligot! It's a delicious and authentic dish that will give you a taste of the region's culinary culture. Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre for your wonderful version of Aligot !

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Awesome comment! Thank you so much for taking the time. For a Frenchman, you certainly have an amazing command of the English language! Bravo, et merci encore encore une fois! 😊

Made something like this to have with duck in blueberry, honey and red wine sauce recently. Would recommend the addition of a little mustard too, a little Dijon goes a long way and makes a very photogenic colour - just be careful to not get it too gloopy!
