Ingredients
- 2pounds thin-skinned potatoes, like Yukon Golds, scrubbed but not peeled, sliced ¼-inch thick
- 3large cloves garlic
- 1½cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 to 1½cups low-fat or nonfat buttermilk
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½cup chopped chives
Preparation
- Step 1
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.
- Step 2
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.
- Step 3
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.

Delicious. Fresh corn, chives, and newly dug up potatoes. Just the right amount of buttermilk in refrigerator to make this. Quite yummy, served with a steak.
