Serve it alongside grilled chicken, ribs or bbq chicken!
Ingredients
Yukon Gold Potatoes: You’ll need 3 pounds total, cubed to cut down on cooking time. I like using gold potatoes because they’re not overly starchy. Baby reds would also work. Avoid russets for potato salad! Eggs: You’ll use 4 in total, and they’ll cook with the potatoes in the Instant Pot. Talk about easy! Wet Ingredients: The dressing for this potato salad is comprised of mayo, dijon mustard, vinegar, and pickle juice. Simple and the perfect dressing and marinade for the soft potatoes! Dry Seasonings: I used smoked paprika, salt, and freshly cracked pepper. This combo pairs perfectly with the fresh mix-ins and dressing! Herbs and Veggies: Diced pickles (I like baby dills for the crunch), red onion (for the color and flavor), and chopped parsley.
How To Make Instant Pot Potato Salad
Cook the Potatoes and Eggs: Add cubed potatoes to the Instant Pot and top with eggs. Pour in water and close the lid. Pressure cook on HIGH pressure for 4 minutes. Once all the steam has released carefully open the lid and transfer the eggs to a bowl filed with ice and cold water.
