Found this in a recent edition of the New York Times, but I didn't save the attached article. A great end of summer recipe. Haven't tried this yet but I'm putting it here for safekeeping.

6 ears corn, shucked
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 lb waxy potato, cut into 1/2 inch cubes (red or Yukon Gold)
