Ingredients

• 2 lbs baby potatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 1 red bell pepper
• 3 green onion
• 0.25 cup cilantro (optional)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp honey
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Start by boiling the baby potatoes. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside to cool.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooling, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the corn kernels. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper, slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro (if using). Set these aside for later.

Step 4

Prepare the chipotle dressing. In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5

Once the potatoes have cooled enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized halves or quarters, depending on size. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add the charred corn, diced red bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the potatoes.

Step 7

Pour the chipotle dressing over the potato mixture. Gently toss everything together until the potatoes and vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 8

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 9

Before serving, taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your Summer BBQ Potato Salad with Chipotle Dressing!
