8 medium size potatoes (russet)
1 can cream-style corn
onion salt
black pepper
4 tbsp butter
splash of milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel potatoes and slice them into 1 inch cubes. Boil the cubes for 30-45 minutes (until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoe cubes and place them in an oven-safe mixing bowl, add the butter. Mix potatoes and butter on low until butter is melted and potatoes are broken down. Add the splash of milk and turn the mixer to high to thoroughly whip them. The potatos should get fluffy during this step. Add the cream-style corn and continue mixing on low.
Cook your meat until it is thoroughly done. Add the meat into your potato and corn mix. Spice to taste.
Place mixing bowl into 350 degree oven and leave until the potatoes begin to brown on top. (30-45 minutes)

Alternate options:
If using ham, then diced/crushed pineapple goes well in this dish, skip the onion salt with this option.
If using pork you can add a couple of cloves of garlic into the potato mix.
For any of the meats, grate cheddar cheese over the top before placing in the oven to brown.
