Ingredients

to taste potatoes
to taste green peas
to taste corn
to taste water
to taste salt
to taste black pepper

Steps

Combine the potatoes, peas, and corn in a pot.
Add enough water to cover the potatoes but not completely drown them.
Simmer, covered, for about 15–20 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy.
The water should be nearly empty by the time the potatoes are fork-tender, but if there is still a significant amount, it is advisable to drain it and leave only a small amount left so that the potatoes will be simple to mash.
Mash everything together, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
