Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 2-inch cubes).
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil and add the peeled and chopped potatoes.
Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the sweet corn if using fresh kernels. If using frozen corn, ensure it is thawed.
In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the corn and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash the ingredients together using a potato masher or a hand mixer until your desired consistency is achieved.
Fold in the sautéed corn and chopped chives, reserving a small amount of chives for garnish.
Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved chives.
Serve warm and enjoy!
