Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut corn from cobs, being careful not to get too close to the cob.

  2. Step 2

    Peel potatoes, and slice about 1 inch thick. Place in pot with corn cobs, and cover with enough water to come an inch above the potatoes. Season with salt, and bring to a simmer. Gently cook potatoes until they are tender.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile sweat shallots in butter for about 3 minutes. Do not let them color. Add corn kernels, and cook slowly for 2 minutes. Add wine, stock and bouquet garni, and cook kernels until they are tender enough to purée, a matter of a few minutes.

  4. Step 4

    When potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly, and discard corncobs. Put potatoes through a ricer, and set aside.

  5. Step 5

    When corn is tender, remove bouquet garni, and purée corn in a blender.

  6. Step 6

    Measure out 1 cup of riced potatoes (do not mash down), and fold in 2 cups corn purée with mascarpone.

  7. Step 7

    To serve with fish, make a mound in center of plate, and top with fish.

I served this with miso scallops. My corn was very sweet so it needed a lot of black pepper. A nice change (and lighter than) from mashed potatoes.
