Do you have an Instant Pot? It’s the hottest thing in cooking (pun intended) right now. It’s not necessarily a new way to cook since pressure cooking has been around for ages but this new style of pressure cooking with an electric pot is such a time saver. People are obsessed with their Instant Pots and I’d have to say, I LOVE mine as well. Meats like roasts and ribs are amazing in it. I also use mine for making soups, browning ground beef, boiling eggs, reheating frozen foods, like soups or casseroles. Try making Quick & Easy Instant Pot Potato Salad in your Instant Pot. It saves time and cleans up quick with using your one pot for cooking.
Quick & Easy Instant Pot Potato Salad
Ingredients:
- 6 medium potatoes
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup mayo or greek yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon yellow mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/2 onion
There’s actually several ways to cook the ingredients in your Instant Pot for potato salad. You can follow the beginner method, like shown here, cooking your eggs and potatoes separately. Consider trying This Old Gal’s method of cooking your eggs right on top of your potatoes!
Another method shared in the Instant Pot® Community on Facebook, is to make an “egg loaf” in your Instant Pot. It involves cracking the eggs into the bottom of the Instant Pot and cooking them in a big chunk, or loaf. Then you chop it up for putting into the salad. It saves time because you don’t have to peel all the eggs. You’re going to chop up all the eggs anyway. Genius!
Otherwise, follow the directions below.
Directions:
Place the lid on the IP and seal. Set to manual for 5 minutes. Quick release. Drain the potatoes using a colander and then place in a medium-sized bowl.
