Description

This Loaded Street Corn Potato Salad combines tender Yukon Gold potatoes with fresh corn and a zesty, creamy dressing infused with lime juice and chili powder. Enhanced with chopped green onions and cilantro, this vibrant salad is a perfect side dish for barbecues, picnics, or casual gatherings, offering a flavorful twist on classic potato salad with a street corn-inspired flair.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups fresh corn (or 1 cup frozen corn)
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil Potatoes and Corn: Place the diced Yukon Gold potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. If using fresh corn, add it to the pot during the last 5 minutes of cooking; if using frozen corn, add it in the final minute to heat through.
  2. Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined, adjusting seasoning to taste.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Drain the potatoes and corn well and allow to cool slightly. Transfer them to a large bowl and pour the prepared dressing over the warm ingredients, tossing gently to coat everything evenly.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs and Onions: Fold in the chopped green onions and cilantro carefully to distribute the flavors without mashing the potatoes.
  5. Chill: Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their creamy texture and buttery flavor that holds up well in salads.
  • Fresh corn offers the best flavor and texture, but frozen corn can be a convenient alternative.
  • Adjust chili powder to your spice preference for a milder or more robust chili kick.
  • Chilling the salad enhances the flavor but can be served immediately if needed.
  • For a lighter version, consider substituting mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a low-fat mayo.
