This is a great recipe that I’ve modified over the years. The flavors are terrific and the ingredients and ratios are very flexible. Adapt it to make it your own specialty. It is a go-to, clean-out-the-refrigerator kind of dish. It also stores well and actually tastes better the next day, making it perfect for picnics and potlucks. Serve warm or chilled.
Ingredients
- 5 ears corn, shucked
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 slices bacon, chopped
- ½ pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into cubes
- salt to taste
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until slightly soft but still crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut corn kernels from the cobs; discard cobs.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir bacon in hot oil until browned and crispy, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving drippings in the skillet.
Step 3
Cook potatoes, stirring occasionally, in the same skillet over medium heat until potatoes are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and salt; cook and stir until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes more.
Step 4
Stir corn kernels into potato mixture and cook until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Pour corn-potato mixture into a large bowl. Add bacon, red onion, cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes; toss to combine.
Cook’s Note:
You can use 3 cups thawed frozen corn for the fresh corn, and any color bell pepper you like.
