Potato And Corn Mash Pioneer Woman Cooks Style Recipe 45

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces that are generally the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. (When they're cooked through a fork should easily slide into the potatoes with no resistance, and the potatoes should almost, but not totally, fall apart.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over low heat, allowing all the steam to escape before adding in all the other ingredients.
• Turn off the heat and add the butter, cream cheese and about 1/2 cup of half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Next, add about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well, and then taste and add more half-and-half, seasoning salt and pepper if needed.
• Transfer the potatoes to a medium-sized baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place in the oven until the butter is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.

Steps:

• You can easily adjust the quantities to feed any number of people, though. Boil the potatoes for about 25 to 30 minutes. Until very tender. Drain, then put back into the pot and leave on low heat; this allows extra water to evaporate so you don't get soupy and watery potatoes. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet and cook the onions, bell pepper and garlic, over low heat until they're soft and sweet. This will take about 15 minutes. Add a 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or cream cheese, or spoon in some sour cream, and add 2 cans of the corn. Start mashing. You don't want to completely mash the corn; you just want to break it up a little so it blends in with the potatoes. I like my mashed potatoes rather thick, so I added 1/2 a cup of hot milk or heavy cream. Feel free to add an additional splash of milk. Or cream. Or cream cheese. Keep mashing until the potatoes are nice and creamy. Add the rest of the corn and the onion/pepper mix and stir it in. Season with a generous amount of black pepper and some salt-or Lawry's seasoned salt. Put the corn mash back on the stove for a few moments to let the mash heat through. Garnish with fresh chives and it's ready to serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• If using frozen corn, prepare as per packet instructions.
• Cook the potato in a pot of lightly salted boiling water until tender, drain and mash with the cream.
• While the potato is cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for about five-ten minutes, until very soft but not browned.
• Blend the cooked corn with the cooked onion in a food processor until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Stir into the mashed potato and cream, checking the seasoning for taste.

Steps:

• Place potatoes and water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 12-14 minutes or until tender; drain. , Place potatoes in a bowl; mash with milk, butter, salt and pepper. Stir in corn and cheese.
