I just made this today before church for a potluck, and it was a sMASHING hit. So many people asked me how I made it. I skipped the jalepeno and I doubled the garlic. Also, I didn't mash the corn w/ the potato and carrots. I stirred that in with the cheese at the end, and it added a nice bit of a crunch. This is the perfect potluck recipe for someone who's cutting impaired!

I used brown potatoes b/c this is what I had. Overall, yummy. I did add a big spoonful of sour cream. It made them smoother/creamier. I would recommend this. The garlic and jalapeno amount it really up to you.

I only used red potatoes and I left out the jalapeno peppers, and they turned out great!! The corn is a great addition, I will be making these often! Thanks for the great recipe!!

Good when you make it but does not keep well in fridge. Second day leftovers were bland and mushy.

Very very good. My carrots didn't mash so well, but it was wonderful anyway.

The mashed potatoes and vegetable in one dish! I used a handful of banana peppers instead of the jalapeno. Also used a large splash of milk instead of the butter, and it turned out excellent! It's especially good smothered in turkey gravy.

these were good, but i thought they lacked something. so i added garlic salt, i think i put some sour cream in there too. and i think sweet yellow corn would be better too, but that's just my opinion. all in all i think it's very creative way to make mashed potatoes!

Easy and Yum! I just used red potatoes, left out the jalapenos, and added about a quarter cut finely chopped red pepper. It was yummy on it’s own, but even yummier with some ranch dip thrown on top.

I will NEVER make traditional plain mashed potatoes again!! I love this. I have made this twice now. A few modifications: I added chopped onion to the potatoes and carrots. I put the garlic and jalepeno in once the water just started to boil. That way all the flavor isn't boiled out. My hubby isn't a fan of corn, so I left that out. It was best when I put it all together in the food processor instead of using the hand mixer. A few people have said that there wasn't much flavor to this. I didn't have that problem at all. I really think the key is the timing of the garlic and jalepeno. Lots of flavor and just the right amount of 'kick'.

These were great! I always add more butter than recommended to any mashed potatoes and I did so here. Anytime I've made mashed potatoes and corn as side dishes, I've always mixed them together. This recipe is just my two favorite mixed sides with extra goodies.

These were good, but I thought they'd have a bit more "punch". I was looking for something amazing to come out of this recipe, and it didn't happen. But they are satisfying and filling.

I made these for Thanksgiving dinner - potatoes are always my contribution and I usually whip them with garlic added in but I thought that since thankgiving is really about the harvest, this recipe seemed fitting and worth a try. I didn't add the cheese since it wouldn't be a great mix with gravy but would definetly use it another time for a regular supper. The only thing I could find fault with is that I didn't taste the jalepenos at all. I think next time I'll add it at the end when mashing (along with the garlic as well). I also added a couple of thinly sliced green onions and used garlic butter. It was a real hit with the family... at first they were dissapointed that it wasn't the whipped, but once they took their first bites they really liked it - got a lot of compliments and no complaints.

These were pretty good! I added two extra garlic cloves and extra cheese. I didn't have any fresh jalapenos so I used some from a jar. I added them after boiling and mashing the potatoes. My kids loved them!

VERY good. the only difference i made was i cut fresh corn off the cobb and added leeks. this was amazing. oh and a side note, my carrots didn't completely mush into the potato mixture. i'm not sure if it was supposed to... maybe they should have cooked a little longer? either way, i have no complaints about this recipe.

This is a great recipe! I added one chopped onion to the boiling water with the potatoes, pepper, and carrots. A whole jalapeno gave this extra kick without making it too spicy. I also added milk while whipping the potatoes with beaters. My picky family ate this two nights in a row!
