Aligot

  

At the Aveyron Fair this weekend, I learned how to make aligot: Mash some potatoes. Add some cheese. Stir with a rowboat oar.

It was just as gooey, melty, cheesy, creamy and potato-ey as I remembered.

Does life get any better than a sunny day with friends and a big vat of cheesy potatoes?
