          @williamssw wikipedia says it's traditionally eaten on bread, pork, or sausages but I'd probably just eat it like soup.

            @essextee all of those options sound crazy delicious to me, including the soup one.

              @williamssw I’m thinking this slathered on a turkey sandwich with some cranberry mustard I have sounds fantastic.

                My mom made some mashed potatoes with cheese in it earlier this year. I remember liking it, and thinking I should have this again.....

                  Oh dear. I just DDGed this and wiki had a lot to say about it. This I gotta try. Cheese, taters, spices? Yum! This excerpt seems to be the bones of it"

                  Other cheeses are also used in place of Tomme, including mozzarella, Cantal[5] and Laguiole. The choice of cheese is important, and strongly affects the end result. Tomme is not easily available outside France; many other cheeses are reported to be too strong. The cheese must be mild, with a lactic tang, but not too much salt, and melt easily. A comparison of the cheeses available in the UK found creamy (rather than the crumbly variety) Lancashire to be best, rejecting most other suggestions;[6] other cheeses will be needed where neither Tomme nor Lancashire are available. Floury, rather than waxy, potatoes are preferable.[6]

                  Aligot is made from mashed potatoes blended with butter, cream, crushed garlic, and the melted cheese. The dish is ready when it develops a smooth, elastic texture. While recipes vary, the Larousse Gastronomique[3] gives the ingredients as 1 kg potatoes; 500 g tomme fraîche, Laguiole, or Cantal cheese; 2 garlic cloves; 30 g butter; salt and pepper.

                        The cheese is very important as some would not mix with potatoes or make a blocky and oily mess when melted, not to mention the taste 🙂

                        A note : the tome fraîche d'Aubrac (non-aged) is different from the more common tome de Savoie (aged) but it seems that you can use either one.

                        The fresh one :

                            I wanted to put some cheese in my mashed potatoes but aligot was this weird pasty mess.

                                  @ricerocketeer If you've never heard of it, you should check out Khachapuri. Then see if there are any Georgian restaurants near you.

                                        @manwich one of the local breakfast joints has a sandwich called the Heart Attack. It's Ham, sausage, bacon, linguica, egg, and cheese.
