Instructions

Boil your potatoes and corn
To start, place the potatoes into a pot filled with water. Then, place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat slightly and allow the potatoes to simmer until they are completely cooked. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
While your potatoes are cooking, fill another pot with water and add your corn ears. Allow the corn to cook over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, or until they are completely cooked.

Finish your mashed potatoes
Once your potatoes are cooked, mash them inside a new pot. Once they are completely mashed, add the milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
Then, cook the mashed potatoes over low heat while whisking constantly. This will help incorporate the milk and melting butter evenly.

Make your white pepper gravy sauce
To start, melt your butter in a pan or pot over medium heat. Once melted, remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the flour. You will have a dry crumb-like mixture.
Then, slowly add the milk in increments. Whisk very well between each addition of milk. Do not add more milk until the previous addition has been completely incorporated. You should have a uniform smooth mixture before adding more milk.
Place the pot back over medium heat. Allow the sauce to thicken as the mixture heats. Keep whisking to prevent the milk from catching at the bottom of the pot.
Once thickened, remove the pot from the heat and season it with salt and white pepper. Then, place a layer of saran wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce and set it aside.

Sift together the baking powder and soda, salt, and pepper. Then, slowly add the buttermilk, egg, and garlic. Whisk the ingredients well until you have a uniform smooth batter.
Then, in another bowl. sift together the flour and cayenne pepper.
