Elotes Style Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Add the butter to a 14-inch cast-iron skillet and heat over medium-high heat until melted. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt and pepper and continue to saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the corn kernels, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, increase the heat to high and saute until the corn is warmed through and slightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and season with additional salt if desired. Drizzle with half of the lime juice.
• Stir together the mayonnaise and remaining lime juice in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the corn with the mayonnaise mixture and sprinkle with the Cotija, cilantro and chili powder. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Soak 4 wooden skewers in water, 30 minutes. Preheat a grill to high.
• Insert a skewer into each ear of corn. Brush the corn with vegetable oil. Grill, turning, until charred all over, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Brush the grilled corn with the mayonnaise and sprinkle with the cheese. Sprinkle with chile powder and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the potatoes, bring back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes, place them back in the pot with the lid on, and shake the pot roughly for about 5 seconds. Carefully spoon the potatoes onto a baking rack set over a sheet pan in one layer. Set the potatoes aside to cool and dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Pour the oil into a large roasting pan, tilt the pan to distribute the oil, and place in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the oil is smoking hot. Transfer the potatoes carefully into the oil, toss them lightly to coat each potato with the hot oil, and spread in one layer. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning the potatoes occasionally with tongs, until very browned and crisp on the outside and tender and creamy inside.
• Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons sea salt and serve hot.

Steps:

• Bake plain frozen fries and toss with salt, chili powder, lime zest and grated Cotija cheese, then transfer to a serving dish and top with mayonnaise thinned with a little water, chopped cilantro and more cheese. Serve with lime wedges.
