GARLIC MASHED POTATOES WITH CORN

GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

WITH CORN

Ingredients

4 large White (Eastern) Potatoes, washed

2 cloves Garlic, smash-peeled

1/2 c. Shoe peg corn

4 tbsp. Unsalted butter

1/4 c. Greek yogurt

1+ c. Chicken stock, heated

1-1/2 tbsp. Chives, chopped

Kosher salt

Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

    • In a large pot (4+ quart), place the potatoes, cut into about 1” pieces, in cold water.  (The water should just cover the potatoes completely.)

    • Cover and bring to a rolling boil.

    • Salt generously with about a tablespoon of kosher salt, and add the garlic.

    • Reduce flame and simmer potatoes until fork tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

    • Drain in a colander, and allow to dry for 5-6 minutes.

    • Over low flame, melt the butter in the pan.

    • Return the potatoes to the pan.

    • Add the stock and yogurt, and stir.

    • Using a potato masher, mash the potato mixture to the desired consistency.  Use more stock if potatoes are too thick.  (Use a hand-held immersion blender or hand mixer after this step for whipped potatoes.)

    • Add the corn and chives, and stir until well-incorporated.

    • Adjust the seasoning as necessary, and serve hot.

These mashed potatoes are delightful!  The shoe peg corn adds a surprising burst of flavor that is a pleasure.
