How to make roasted garlic mashed potatoes:

Set corn out to thaw for at least 2 hours. Melt butter under medium heat (do not brown) in large skillet or frying pan. Add cayenne, black pepper and liquid smoke. Add corn and grill on high heat until corn is sweet and slightly tender (it is important for the corn to taste young, not overcooked like cream corn). Add lime juice, tarragon and cream. Stir for an additional 2 minutes. Turn off heat and serve.
