Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a small stockpot, and cover completely with cold water (about 2 cups). Bring to a boil on medium–high heat. Boil for 10 minutes.
- Add the peas to the pot of boiling potatoes, and continue to boil the vegetables for an additional 5 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Heat to 140 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds.
- Turn stove off; drain the water from the potatoes and peas, reserving about ½ cup of cooking water.
- Mash potatoes and peas with a potato masher or mixer. Do not overmix. If mixture is too dry, add reserved water 1 Tbsp at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Heat oil in a medium sauté pan. Sauté garlic, Swiss chard, corn, sage, onion powder, salt, and pepper on medium–high heat until sage is toasted, 5–7 minutes.
- Stir the sautéed vegetables into the hot potato–pea mash.
- Serve ¼ cup.Critical Control Point: Hold at 140 °F or higher.
