Ingredients
- 2lb Russet potatoes – diced into 1/2 inch squares
- 4 hard boiled eggs – halved and diced
- 14oz Mexicorn Niblets
- 1 Cup Mayo
- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 Lime – juiced
- 1/2 Red Onion – small dice
- 1 Jalapeño – small dice
- 1/4 Cup Cilantro – chopped
- 8oz Cotija cheese (Fresh feta if you cannot find cotija)
- 1 1/2 Tsp Cumin
- 1/2 Tsp Chili powder
- 1/2 Tsp Ground black pepper
- 1/2 Tsp Paprika
- 1/2 Tsp Cayenne
- 1/4 Tsp Garlic powder
Directions
- In a medium pot, place the diced potatoes and cover with water, one inch above the potatoes. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Boil for 5 to 7 minutes. Check the potatoes at 5 minutes by poking them with a fork. When tender and not breaking down, remove from heat and drain in a colander.
- Once drained, lay the potatoes out on a baking pan lined with paper towels and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Then place in the refrigerator for at least one hour to chill through.
- In a small pot, place the diced jalapeños and corn and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and strain. Place the mix in a small bowl and cool before placing it in the refrigerator for at least one hour to chill through.
- While the potatoes and corn chill, combine the mayo, sour cream, and lime juice in a small bowl and mix well.
- After the potatoes and corn mix have been chilled, combine the potatoes, corn mix, diced eggs, onions, and lime mayo mix in a large bowl and mix well. Add the seasoning and the cilantro and mix well again.
- Refrigerate the potato salad for at least one hour to set and to incorporate the flavors throughout.
- Serve and enjoy.
