Mexican Street Corn Potato Salad, complete with creamy sauce, lime, cilantro, and cotija cheese ~ perfect for backyard barbecues!
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb small thin-skinned potatoes, skin on
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise, (I used a heaping 1/4 cup)
- 3 Tbsp lime juice, divided
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder
- salt and fresh ground black pepper , to taste
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 2 ears cooked or grilled corn, kernels removed
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 1 jalapeño or Serrano pepper, minced
- 1/2 small head iceberg lettuce, thinly shredded
- fresh cilantro leaves
- crumbled Cojita cheese
- 1 lime, cut in wedges
- 1/4 cup sour cream, or Mexican crema
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are just tender. Drain and rinse briefly in cold water. Cut them in bite sized chunks and put them in a bowl.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, chipotle chile pepper, and salt to taste. Taste and add a little more lime juice if you like. Pour the dressing over the still hot potatoes and toss to coat them evenly. Mix in the olives, corn, and hot peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Arrange the shredded lettuce on a platter or large shallow salad bowl. Top with the potato salad, and then garnish with cilantro, more chipotle pepper, crumbled cojita cheese, and lime wedges.
- Thin the sour cream with a tablespoon or 2 of lime juice and drizzle over the salad just before serving.
