Ingredients
- 2 lbs Russet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt for boiling the potatoes
- 6 large ears of corn kernels removed - or use 1 can or sweet corn, drained
- 6 hard boiled eggs chopped small - optional
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cotija cheese crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water, also add 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Place on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Boil until barely fork-tender, about 9-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool in the pot or in a colander.

- Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the chopped eggs, if using. Add the corn, onion, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Stir to combine.
- Add the salad dressing and gently stir until fully coated. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- Serve warm or chilled with more cotija cheese on top and fresh cilantro.
