2 pounds medium red-skinned potatoes (about 6)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ears corn, husks removed
2 poblano chiles, charred, peeled, stemmed, seeded and chopped (see Cook's Note)
1 cup chopped scallions (white and pale green parts only; about 5 scallions)
1 cup chopped scallions (white and pale green parts only; about 5 scallions)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

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