Place the potatoes in a large pot of generously salted water and bring to a boil.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion and corn is nice and charred, about 10 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a small bowl until ready to use.
Once the potatoes are cool, peel away the skin and chop them into 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes into a large bowl and drizzle with the vinegar. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes.
Add the charred corn & onion mixture, along with the minced red pepper, Go Avo Avocado Spread, cilantro, salt and pepper into the bowl and toss until creamy and evenly coated.
