Mashed Potatoes with Corn
Ingredients
- 4 medium baking potatoes
- 1/2 C. milk
- 2 ears fresh sweet corn (to make 1 C. kernels)
- 4 Tbs. butter
- Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and cayenne
Directions
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the potatoes and boil them, partially covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the milk in a small saucepan, add the raw corn kernels, butter, and seasonings, and heat until the butter melts. When the potatoes are done, put them through a ricer or coarse strainer. Mix in the corn and milk mixture and beat until fluffy. If the potatoes are too stiff, add a little more milk. Makes 4 servings.
