Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Russet potatoes
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 medium Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
- 1 cup Sweet corn (cooked, canned, or frozen)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Scallions (sliced, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, roast the green chiles if not already done. Peel, deseed, and dice the chiles into small pieces.
If using frozen corn, heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. If using canned corn, drain and rinse before setting aside.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Add the butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash them with a potato masher or use a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the diced green chiles, cooked corn, and minced garlic. Mix well to combine.
Season the mashed potatoes with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced scallions and shredded cheddar cheese if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Chile Corn Mashed Potatoes!
