After microwaving, use a wire whip or electric beater to whip the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Fold in melted butter, sour cream, roasted garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in corn kernels.
Coat a casserole dish with vegetable oil spray. Transfer the potato mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle cheese generously on top. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is golden.
