About Aligot
Aligot is a potato and fresh-cheese dish associated with Aubrac, including Cantal, Aveyron and Lozère. Clermont Auvergne Tourisme presents this regional recipe with tome fraîche and crème fraîche.
The fresh cheese and cultured cream give the potatoes a rich dairy flavour. Garlic flavours the cooking water before removal, with salt and pepper completing the seasoning.
The purée is smooth and elastic, stretching into long strands when lifted. This named Aubrac version keeps the focus on potatoes, cream and fresh cheese.
