Elote Potato Salad

Featuring Spanish Paprika Chèvre

Recipe description

Part street corn. Part potato salad. Our Spanish Paprika Chèvre doubles as the dressing; whisk it into a smoky, spiced vinaigrette and pour it over warm potatoes and grilled corn so it melts right in and coats every bite. This is the dish people keep circling back to.

Method

1. Cook the Potatoes

Boil baby gold potatoes in well-salted water until fork-tender. Drain and halve while still warm; the warmth is key to the next step.

2. Grill the Corn

Grill your ears of corn over high heat until charred and fragrant. Cut the kernels off the cob.

3. Make the Dressing

Whisk together softened Spanish Paprika Chèvre with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, lime juice, dijon, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Add a small splash of water to loosen if needed.

4. Combine While Warm

Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and corn immediately. The heat helps the chèvre melt in and coat everything evenly. Add jalapeño, green onions, and cilantro. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.

5. Serve

Enjoy hot, at room temperature, or cold straight from the fridge; all three are excellent.
