Mashed Potatoes With Corn and Chives
- 2 pounds thin-skinned potatoes, like Yukon Golds, scrubbed but not peeled, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 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
- Place potatoes and garlic in pot, cover with water and boil until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove with slotted spoon and place in large bowl; add corn to boiling water and cook 2 minutes.
- Drain.
- Mash potatoes and garlic or put through a food mill.
- (A food mill will leave behind much of the skin.)
- Stir corn into mashed potatoes with enough buttermilk to make a medium-firm texture.
- Season with salt and pepper and stir in 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.
