Best 7 Corn And Potato Purée Recipes

CREAMY CORN AND POTATO MASH

Steps:

• If using frozen corn, prepare as per packet instructions.
• Cook the potato in a pot of lightly salted boiling water until tender, drain and mash with the cream.
• While the potato is cooking, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for about five-ten minutes, until very soft but not browned.
• Blend the cooked corn with the cooked onion in a food processor until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Stir into the mashed potato and cream, checking the seasoning for taste.

POTATO AND CORN SKILLET HASH

Steps:

• Spread the potatoes in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Add 2 cups water, the vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook, stirring halfway through, until the water evaporates and the potatoes are softened, about 20 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium high and add the olive oil. Cook, without stirring, until the potatoes are very browned on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a firm metal spatula, scrape up the potatoes from the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping often, until the potatoes are a rich golden brown and crisp all over, 20 to 30 more minutes. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons olive oil as needed if the potatoes are too dry. Remove to a plate.
• Add the corn to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Return the potatoes to the skillet, stir well and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in about half the herbs. Top with the remaining herbs.

ROASTED CORN PUREE

SWEET CORN AND POTATO GRATIN

Reduce heat; cook and stir until potatoes are crisp-tender, 8-10 minutes., Stir in corn and cream-style corn. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray., In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and butter; sprinkle over potatoes.

CREAMY CORN AND POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Take the corn off the cobs. You should have about 5 cups kernels. Set aside 1 cup of the kernels.
• Place the corn cobs in a large soup pot and add the water. Make sure they are covered or at least floating in the water; you can break them in half if they are very large. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the cobs. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Strain the broth and measure out 5 cups. Freeze any leftover broth.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and then add the 4 cups of corn kernels and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the corn is just tender. Add the corn broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile roast the chilies, either directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning often until they are uniformly charred. Transfer to a plastic bag and seal, or transfer to a bowl and cover tightly. Allow the peppers to cool, then remove the charred skin, rinse and past dry. Remove the seeds and veins (I recommend that you wear plastic gloves for this) and cut in thin strips or dice.
• Steam the kernels set aside for the garnish for 5 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
• Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender, taking care to remove the insert from the top and cover tightly with a kitchen towel to avoid splashes. Return to the heat, taste and adjust salt, and heat through.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Combine the steamed corn kernels and diced chilies and place a spoonful in the middle of each bowl of soup. Garnish with a sprinkling of cilantro or chives if desired, and serve.

CORN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Bring the corn stock or chicken stock to a simmer in a saucepan and keep it simmering as you prepare the risotto.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, high-sided sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add leek and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add rice and cook, stirring, until grains look slightly translucent.
• Pour in wine and cook, stirring, until it has all been absorbed, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add a ladleful of hot corn stock to the rice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until rice has absorbed all of the stock. Continue cooking, adding ladlefuls of stock whenever rice mixture looks dry and stirring continuously. When half the stock has been added, stir in corn. Continue cooking until all of the stock is incorporated, corn is tender and rice is creamy and tender, about 30 to 40 minutes total.
• Remove risotto from heat and stir in Parmesan and remaining tablespoon of butter. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
• In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cream at high speed until it holds stiff peaks. Uncover risotto, stir vigorously and season to taste with salt and pepper. Immediately before serving, stir in the chives, if using, then gently fold in cream.
• Combine all ingredients with 6 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat so liquid is simmering; cover pot and let simmer for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Add enough water to bring liquid up to 6 cups.
