Steps:
- Cut corn from cobs, being careful not to get too close to the cob.
- Peel potatoes, and slice about 1 inch thick. Place in pot with corn cobs, and cover with enough water to come an inch above the potatoes. Season with salt, and bring to a simmer. Gently cook potatoes until they are tender.
- Meanwhile sweat shallots in butter for about 3 minutes. Do not let them color. Add corn kernels, and cook slowly for 2 minutes. Add wine, stock and bouquet garni, and cook kernels until they are tender enough to purée, a matter of a few minutes.
- When potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly, and discard corncobs. Put potatoes through a ricer, and set aside.
- When corn is tender, remove bouquet garni, and purée corn in a blender.
- Measure out 1 cup of riced potatoes (do not mash down), and fold in 2 cups corn purée with mascarpone.
- To serve with fish, make a mound in center of plate, and top with fish.

CREAMY CORN AND POTATO MASH
Haven't made this, but it sounds good! The recipe calls for 6 fresh corn cobs, so I looked up the conversion charts, which suggests that 1 medium corn cob yields about 3/4 cup of corn. That would be 4.5 cups of frozen or canned corn, which sounds like rather a lot, to 200 gr of potatoes, which is about one large potato. Although the corn is pureed, which would make a difference. So I'm going to suggest 3 cups corn, but if you feel that this is too much, or too little, adjust accordingly. And let us know! :D Recipe comes from "Gourmet Stews And Mash".
