Inspired by a bit of leftover Elote Dip and a spoonful of leftover potato salad, this was a fun random creation that I knew I needed to turn into a full potato salad recipe. Elote Dip can also become an amazing pasta salad. Try it. After making Cholula Potato Salad for the first time a couple of months ago, and many times since then, my whole family has decided that we really enjoy having a bit of heat in a potato salad.
As much as we’ve enjoyed that salad, it shouldn’t have surprised me even a bit that we loved the bit of heat from the hot sauce in this Street Corn Potato Salad. The key to this recipe is dicing the potatoes nice and small so that every bite will have a great combination of corn and potatoes. This salad is delicious served warm and it is also delicious cold after a rest in the refrigerator. If you are already a fan of street corn, this may be your favorite new side dish this summer. I’ve made this both with and without eggs because I’m just a great big fan of adding eggs to every potato salad, However, this recipe is truly delicious both ways, so I’m sharing it here without them, but I’ve noted that eggs are optional in the recipe.
Warm Potato Salads
Have you tried a warm potato salad? Antipasti Potato Salad is a new potato salad that we’ve been making this summer and it’s terrific both cold or at room temperature. Honey Dijon Roasted Potato Salad and Garlic Lover’s Potato Salad are a couple more great side dishes that work well hot or at room temperature. And last but not least, this Italian Salami Potato Salad is a hearty option that also works nicely at room temperature. Adjust the hot sauce according to taste. We love this with the bit of heat that a few tablespoons of hot sauce adds to this recipe. If you are leery of the heat, start with just a tablespoon of sauce and adjust according to taste.
