Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ears of corn, husked
3 large fresh poblano chiles or Anaheim chiles*
2 large red bell peppers
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
3 pounds unpeeled baby Yukon Gold potatoes or baby Dutch yellow potatoes
6 green onions, chopped
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk vinegar and garlic in small bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place corn, chiles, and bell peppers on grill. Cover and grill until corn kernels are tender and chiles and bell peppers are blackened on all sides, turning frequently, about 5 minutes for corn and 12 minutes for chiles and bell peppers. Transfer vegetables to 2 baking pans. Cover chiles and bell peppers; let stand until cool. Cut corn kernels off cobs; transfer to medium bowl. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop chiles and bell peppers; add to bowl with corn. DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette and vegetables can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring vinaigrette to room temperature and rewhisk before using.
  • Stir cumin seeds in small dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to small bowl; set aside. Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water just until tender when pierced with knife, about 20 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Drain and cool slightly. Cut potatoes into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to large bowl. Add grilled vegetables and vinaigrette; toss to coat. Add cumin seeds, green onions, and cilantro and toss. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cover; chill at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  • * Sold at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Latin markets.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potato salad turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This potato salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I found the potatoes to be a bit undercooked. I'll boil them for a few minutes longer next time.

The dressing is a bit too runny for my liking. I'll try adding less mayonnaise next time.

This potato salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chiles.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The potato salad was still very good.

I added some chopped bacon to the potato salad and it was delicious. It gave the dish a nice smoky flavor.

I didn't have any Yukon Gold potatoes, so I used red potatoes instead. They worked just fine.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. It actually tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had a chance to meld together.

I love the pop of color from the cilantro and chiles. It makes this potato salad so visually appealing.

The toasted cumin adds a lovely smokiness to the dressing. It really elevates the flavor of the dish.

This Yukon Gold potato salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The tender potatoes, creamy dressing, and zesty combination of chiles, cilantro, and toasted cumin create a dish that is both refreshing and satisfying.
