- Bring to a simmer.
- Add to potatoes and mash just until smooth and creamy.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Slice the kernels from two ears of corn into a large bowl. Holding the cobs over the bowl, scrape the cobs with the back of your knife to get the remaining bits of corn and the corn milk.
- Press the corn mixture through a sieve or ricer into the melted butter.
- Add cream and mix well.
- Slice the kernels from the remaining ears of corn and add to pan.
- Heat until cream thickens slightly; add salt and pepper to taste.

- Sauté in hot oil until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side, until just translucent in center.
- Thickly slice tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stack.
