Time 30m

3 large cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 to 1 1/2 cups low-fat or nonfat buttermilk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped chives

  • To keep for up to one day, refrigerate, covered. To serve, place in glass dish, cover with plastic wrap and put in a microwave oven for about 8 minutes on high, stirring once or twice while reheating. If potatoes become too dry, stir in a little buttermilk.

Tips:

  • Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for mashed potatoes because they have a smooth and creamy texture when cooked.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water: Adding salt to the water helps to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
  • Drain potatoes thoroughly: Before mashing the potatoes, make sure to drain them thoroughly to remove excess water. This will prevent the potatoes from becoming too watery.
  • Use a potato ricer: A potato ricer is the best tool for creating smooth and creamy mashed potatoes. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a food mill or a potato masher.
  • Add milk and butter gradually: When adding milk and butter to the mashed potatoes, do it gradually and in small increments. This will help you to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Season to taste: Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs like parsley, chives, or rosemary.
  • Add mix-ins: To add extra flavor and texture to the mashed potatoes, you can add mix-ins like roasted peppers, corn, or cheese.
