directions

  • Combine peas, potatoes and salt in a saucepan. Fill with water until just covered. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 c liquid.
  • Meanwhile, simmer corn in salted water in a separate pot until tender. Drain.
  • Mash peas and potatoes with a potato masher, or press through a ricer. Stir in corn, and enough reserved cooking water to make a smooth puree. Season with salt and pepper, and top with butter.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
