Cheesy Mashed Potatoes with Corn & Furikake

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes, ~2 lbs/1 kg
  • 2/3 cup 75g shredded Gruyère cheese (or any kind of cheese)
  • 1 cup 110g fresh yellow corn kernels
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • furkikake, Japanese rice seasoning for topping

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes, and chop them into large chunks. Place the potatoes in a small pot, and fill it with water so that there is about an inch of water above the potatoes. Bring the potatoes to boil.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat a small skillet with the oil over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the corn kernels and cook for a few minutes, or until the kernels turn into a vibrant yellow. Add a pinch of salt to draw out the corn's sweet flavor.
  • Once the water in the pot has boiled, leave it for another few minutes until the potatoes can be pierced with a fork. Drain the boiling water, and place the potatoes in a large bowl. Use a masher or a wooden spoon to mash the potatoes. Stir in the cheese and corn. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes with some furikake on top. Enjoy while warm!
  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.
