Corn Potato And Poblano Chile Salad Recipes

POBLANO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the corn to the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• Put the potatoes in a large serving bowl. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and add them to the bowl. Add the poblano chiles, scallions, sour cream, mayonnaise, and cilantro, and fold together. Season the potato salad, to taste, with salt and pepper and serve.

GRILLED CORN AND POBLANO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and add salted water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook for 30 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Add the corn and grill, turning the ears, until evenly browned on all sides, 10 minutes.
• Halve the potatoes and put them in a large bowl. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the corncobs and add the kernels to the bowl. Add the poblano chiles, scallions, sour cream, mayonnaise, and cilantro, and fold together. Season the potato salad to taste with salt and pepper. (The potato salad can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated. Let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.)

CORN AND FIRE-ROASTED POBLANO SALAD WITH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Roasted Poblanos: Rub the chilies lightly with oil and place them on a stovetop grill or directly over an open flame. Grill over medium-high heat and turn, using metal tongs until the skins are evenly blistered and charred. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and cover with a plate or a lid; they'll steam as they cool. Loosen and peel the skins from the chilies. Bits of charred skin are ok. You can dip your fingers in water, but don't be tempted to dip the chilies in water or peel them under the running faucet-you'll lose their delicious flavor.
• Salad: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and drop in the onions for 20 seconds. Drain and toss with the vinegar.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the corn, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and sauté over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the water, lower the heat, and cover the pan. Simmer covered, until the corn is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl and toss with the chilies, onions, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and a pinch of cayenne. Set aside to cool.
• Just before serving, add the cilantro and season to taste with salt and cayenne.
• Tip: To make this salad even easier, you can prepare the separate elements ahead of time and combine them at the last minute. The poblano chilies keep well for several days in the refrigerator or can be frozen and defrosted just before serving.

CORN, POTATO, AND POBLANO CHILE SALAD

Steps:

• 1. In a pot of boiling water, cook the corn about 3 minutes or until just tender. Do not overcook. Remove the corn and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking. With a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cobs. Put the corn into a large bowl. 2. Roast the poblanos over a flame, or under a broiler until charred all over. Steam in a plastic bag about 8 minutes. Rub off the skins, seed, and cut into 1/2-inch dice. Add to the corn along with the tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and cumin. Mix. Add the remaining ingredients. Toss gently to coat the salad with the dressing. From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
