Inspired by the earthy flavors of the Southwest, these mashed Idaho® potatoes are prepared with fresh corn, chili powder, cilantro and a hint of honey. This recipe appears in New Texas Cuisine by Stephan Pyles, (Doubleday, 1993).

Directions:

  1. In saucepan, place potatoes with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 - 20 minutes, until tender. Drain thoroughly.
