Creamy Corn and Potato Mash

Submitted by Karen Elizabeth

"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"."

Oh yum!!!! Based upon other suggestions, I just eyeballed the amount of corn to potato. I LOVE this flavor combination of sauteed onions, corn and creamy potatoes. I also chose not to puree he corn and onions. Love the texture of the veggies whole!! Made for the Quest!

Loved this! The texture is simply wonderful. Like PotPie, my corn doesn't show up in the photo either, but it's in there! This is a keeper recipe, for sure.

My husband loves to mix corn with his mashed potatoes, it's one of his very favorite things, so this recipe was well liked! We loved the sweetness the corn gave to dish. I used white corn, so it doesn't show up too well in the picture, but I pureed half of it with the onions and put the other half of whole kernels in. I did make more potatoes than called for in the recipe. This is going into my keeper file. Thanks, Karen! (SWT)

I halved the recipe for DH and myself but I didn't have quite 100 grams of potatoes. (I kept trying different ones on the scale and gave up at a total of 90 grams!) This was easy and yummy and for sure is comfort food! Made for CQ2015/LBOB
