Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15–20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the frozen corn kernels and sauté for 5–7 minutes until they are heated through and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
Fold in the sautéed corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese into the mashed potatoes. Stir gently until the cheese has melted and is well-combined.
Transfer the mashed potatoes with corn cheese to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite mains like grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or steak. Enjoy!
