Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Place the diced red potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt, then bring the water to a rolling boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 8–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.
  3. Transfer the cooled potatoes to a mixing bowl. Pour in the dressing and gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly. Add the diced bell pepper and corn, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
