Instant Pot Potato Salad
Perfect cold summer dish
INGREDIENTS
- 2-3 lbs. potatoes peeled and cut into fairly equal size pieces 1/2 – 3/4-inch chunks
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. Yellow mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sweet pickles*
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion*
- 2-3 hard-cooked chopped eggs*
- * = optional
- DIRECTIONS
- Place 1 cup of water in Instant Pot
- Place peeled, cut potatoes and eggs in a wire mesh basket
- Cook on high pressure for 6 minutes. I like soft potatoes, so I do 6 minutes, if you like firmer potatoes in your salad – you may want to adjust cook time down to 5 minutes.
- Remove eggs from basket and place the basket of potatoes as soon as they are cool enough in fridge so they firm up.
- Peel eggs with ice water method, cut them up, and place them in the fridge with the potatoes
Once the potatoes are thoroughly chilled (firm to touch):
Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, sugar and pepper in large bowl. Add potatoes, eggs and any other options you chose and toss gently with a flexible rubber spatula, coating all the potatoes.
Chill for several hours to allow the mixture to blend. EAT!
