POTATO AND TOASTED CORN SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK DRESSING



Potato and Toasted Corn Salad with Buttermilk Dressing image

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds small red potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups fresh corn (cut from about 3 ears) or thawed frozen
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
3 large scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch wedges. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook potatoes until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes, and drain well.
  • In a large skillet heat oil until hot but not smoking and cook corn, covered, over moderately high heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Cool corn slightly and combine with potatoes in a large bowl. Potatoes and corn may be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • In a small bowl stir together buttermilk, mayonnaise, and vinegar. To potatoes and corn add buttermilk mixture, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste, tossing to coat.

Tips:

  • For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked and won't get mushy.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when you mix them with the dressing.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, make the buttermilk dressing. This dressing is simple to make and adds a creamy, tangy flavor to the potato salad.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, add them to a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Gently mix to coat the potatoes.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to the potato salad. Some popular options include chopped celery, onion, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon.
  • Chill the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more firm.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. It is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a potato salad recipe that everyone will enjoy.
