Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
  • 3 ears shucked corn on the cob
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1/3 cup feta or cotija cheese*
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 medium lime, juiced (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut potatoes in half and place in a large pot of water, leaving enough room for corn to go in (later on).

  2. Bring to a boil and boil for 7-10 minutes (potatoes should have a bit of give at this point when pierced with a sharp knife). Add corn to pot and continue boiling potatoes and corn for 2-4 minutes or until corn is cooked. 

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix together mayonnaise, yogurt, cheese, cilantro, chili powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. 

  4. Drain potatoes and corn and let cool.

  5. Holding the corn tall in a bowl, run a knife along the sides to remove kernels. 

  6. Toss potatoes, corn, and dressing together. Garnish with more cilantro if desired. 

  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature. 

Recipe Notes

* cojita cheese is a crumbly Mexican cheese that is available at some supermarkets. Feta cheese is a close and great replacement if cojita is unavailable.
