A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, incorporating sweet corn and a blend of cheeses for a creamy, flavorful side dish.
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Place the potato chunks in a microwave-safe dish and add enough water to cover them.
Adding a pinch of salt to the water can enhance the flavor of the potatoes as they cook.
Cover the dish and microwave on high for 12-14 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Check the potatoes with a fork to ensure they are soft and ready for mashing.
Drain the water and transfer the cooked potatoes to a mixing bowl.
Let the potatoes sit for a minute to release any excess moisture before mashing.
Mash the potatoes with the milk, butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
Stir in the corn kernels and shredded cheeses until well combined.
The heat from the potatoes will melt the cheese, creating a creamy texture.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
For a festive touch, sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
