Ingredients
- 8 cups potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes and boiled in salted water until cooked; drain and set aside to cool (measure 8 cups after potatoes have been diced)
- 4 large hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped
- 2 cups canned corn, well drained
- 1-2 large pickled jalapenos, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (can substitute with crumbled feta if needed)
- 1/4 cup red onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and chop them into cubes. Rinse the prepared potatoes well under cold running water and transfer them to a pot. Cover with cold water and add a half teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain well and set aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, boil the eggs, drain, cool, peel, and roughly chop. Set aside.
- Next, prepare the dressing for the salad. Measure the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and ground black pepper into a small mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and set the dressing aside.
- Add the cooled potatoes, chopped egg, corn, jalapenos, cheese, red onions, green onions, and parsley to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk the dressing mixture again, ensuring that nothing has settled to the bottom.
- Pour this mixture into the mixing bowl and toss well until everything is thoroughly mixed.
- Transfer to a food-safe container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least two hours. Before serving, toss once more.
