Ingredients
- 3 pound potatoes I prefer Yukon Gold
- 3 cans corn divided; can use frozen corn, too
- 1/2 cup hot milk
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 large garlic clove grated or finely chopped
- 1 large l onion chopped
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Butter or cream cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives
- 1/4 -1/2 cup Milk or heavy cream; about 1/4 to 1/2 cup, depending on how thick you like your potatoes
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes for about 25 to 30 minutes. Until very tender.
- Drain, then put back into the pot and leave on low heat; this allows extra water to evaporate so you don't get soupy and watery potatoes.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet and cook the onions, bell pepper and garlic, over low heat until they’re soft and sweet. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Add a 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or cream cheese, or spoon in some sour cream, and add 2 cans of the corn. Start mashing. You don’t want to completely mash the corn; you just want to break it up a little so it blends in with the potatoes.
- I like my mashed potatoes rather thick, so I added 1/2 a cup of hot milk or heavy cream. Feel free to add an additional splash of milk. Or cream. Or cream cheese.
- Keep mashing until the potatoes are nice and creamy.
- Add the rest of the corn and the onion/pepper mix and stir it in.
- Season with a generous amount of black pepper and some salt—or Lawry’s seasoned salt. Put the corn mash back on the stove for a few moments to let the mash heat through.
- Garnish with fresh chives and it's ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
You can easily adjust the quantities to feed any number of people, though.
