A delightful twist on classic mashed potatoes, featuring a creamy texture and a burst of flavor from added ingredients.
Peel and dice the potatoes into even-sized chunks.
Cutting the potatoes into similar sizes ensures they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the potatoes as they cook.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the water.
Check the potatoes with a fork; they should be soft but not falling apart.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher until smooth.
For extra smooth potatoes, use a ricer instead of a masher.
Stir in the butter, roasted garlic, and cheddar cheese until well combined and the cheese is melted.
Adding the butter first helps it melt evenly into the hot potatoes.
Mix in the sweet corn and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Taste and adjust the seasoning gradually to avoid over-salting.
Serve the mashed potatoes hot and enjoy!
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
