Mashed Potatoes with Leeks & Corn

Step 1

Peel & cube the potatoes. Place them in a microwave-safe dish with a bit of water. Cover & microwave for 5 min, stirring halfway through.

Step 2

Wash, trim & finely slice the leeks. Melt half of the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the leeks. Season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring for 3-5 min, or until lightly browned. Add a splash of water & stir.

Step 3

When the water has evaporated, add the frozen corn. Cook, stirring until the corn is thawed. Then remove from heat.

Step 4

Remove the potatoes from the microwave. Pierce with a fork. If not fork-tender, cover & microwave for 2 more min. Once tender, season the potatoes with salt & pepper. Add the rest of the butter. Mash until smooth & creamy, using a fork or potato masher.

Step 5

Serve the mashed potatoes topped with sautéed leeks & corn. Season with salt & pepper. Enjoy!
