==Background== Traditionally made with fresh tomme de Laguiole (tomme fraîche), or tomme d'Auvergne cheese, aligot is highly appreciated in the local gastronomy with thick Toulouse sausages or roast beef. Other cheeses are sometimes used in place of fresh tomme, which is hard to get by as it should ideally be used in the days following its making, or else it will be too strong in taste. The choice of cheese is important, and strongly affects the result. The cheese must be mild, with a lactic tang, but not too much salt, and melt easily. Floury potatoes are preferable, rather than waxy.
