2 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes (about 6)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ears corn, husks removed
2 poblano chiles, charred, peeled, stemmed, seeded and chopped (see Cook's Note)

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Char 2 poblano peppers directly over a gas burner on medium heat; place in a bowl, cover and let cool. Char 4 ears of corn over the burner; let cool. Peel, seed and chop the poblanos and cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Cook 2 pounds quartered small red-skinned potatoes in salted boiling water until tender, 12 minutes; drain and let cool. Whisk 1/2 cup each mayonnaise, buttermilk and chopped parsley and 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos plus 2 tablespoons brine in a large bowl; season with salt. Add the vegetables and toss. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn. Fresh corn on the cob is best, but frozen or canned corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it before using. If using canned corn, drain and rinse it before using.
  • Roast the poblano peppers. Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky flavor. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the skins are blackened. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling and seeding them.
  • Boil the potatoes. While the poblano peppers are roasting, boil the potatoes until they are tender. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly before dicing them.
  • Make the dressing. The dressing for this salad is made with mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, and cumin. Simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
  • Assemble the salad. To assemble the salad, combine the corn, poblano peppers, potatoes, red onion, and dressing in a large bowl. Stir until combined. Serve immediately or chill for later.

Conclusion:

This corn poblano potato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. For example, if you like spicy food, you can add a diced jalapeño pepper to the salad. If you are looking for a healthier version of the salad, you can use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. No matter how you make it, this salad is sure to be a hit!
