Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and chop them into equal-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Add the chopped potatoes to a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are boiling, mince the garlic finely.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
If using fresh or frozen corn, cook the kernels in boiling water for 3-5 minutes until tender. If using canned corn, drain and rinse before use. Set the corn aside.
Step 7
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
Step 8
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, sautéed garlic, milk, heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the pot. Mash everything together using a potato masher or a handheld mixer, until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk, if needed.
Step 9
Fold the corn kernels gently into the mashed potatoes using a spatula. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 10
Transfer the garlic mashed potatoes with corn to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
