  4. Make Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, optional cayenne pepper, freshly squeezed lime juice, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Combine Salad Ingredients: Add chopped red onion, charred corn kernels sliced off the cob, chopped cilantro, and cooled boiled potatoes to the dressing. Mix thoroughly.
