CORN-POBLANO POTATO SALAD

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

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:

  • Roast the poblano peppers: Roasting the poblano peppers brings out their smoky and slightly sweet flavor. You can roast them over an open flame, on a grill, or in the oven. Just be sure to char the skin until it is blackened. Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling and seeding them.
  • Use a variety of potatoes: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, so feel free to use any type of potato you have on hand. Red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, and russet potatoes are all good choices.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. You can test them by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. This makes it a great option for a make-ahead meal.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to this salad. Be sure to chop them finely before adding them to the salad.

Conclusion:

This poblano potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted poblano peppers add a smoky and slightly sweet flavor to the salad, while the creamy dressing and fresh herbs add a touch of richness and freshness. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
