While reading about potatoes for various projects, we came across an experiment made by a German cheesemaker, who tried to create cheeses made of mashed potatoes matured with curd (preferably goat or sheep milk). French scholar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Jaucourt Louis de Jaucourt], the most prolific contributor to the first Encyclopedia (XVIIIth century), wrote that the share of milk and potatoes could differ depending on customers wealth: the wealthier the milkier.(We repeated the “potato-cheese” process with tofu to give it a try.) | ||

The “potato-cheeses” taste was close to so-called <i>Aligot</i> (a french specialty from Auvergne region) in the first days. It turned to a running paste in the long run, so rope was winded onto each cheese. However, the 2 weeks matured potato brought strong amonia notes that made it uneatable. | The “potato-cheeses” taste was close to so-called <i>Aligot</i> (a french specialty from Auvergne region) in the first days.
