Instant Pot Potato Salad

Sharing is caring!

This Instant Pot Potato Salad is the easiest way to make this classic dish because the potatoes and eggs cook together at the same time in just minutes! The texture is perfect and the dressing perfectly creamy.

Serve this salad with grilled chicken or Instant Pot BBQ Ribs. It pairs perfectly with Corn on the Cob too!

Potato salad is the classic summer side dish! It goes perfectly with pretty much any grilled meat. Now it’s even easier to make it than ever! All thanks to the Instant Pot. I chop the potatoes and cook them with eggs at the same time. Such a time-saver! They have the perfect texture.

Ingredients:

• Russet potatoes
• eggs
• water
• salt and pepper
• mayo
• sour cream
• mustard

• Carefully open the lid, remove eggs and place in a very cold water.

What else can I add to this potato salad?

I almost always add chopped pickles and sweet onion. We also like to add cooked, chopped carrots and whole kernel corn. You can play with this recipe and adapt it to your likings.

Can I make it ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make this salad up to 2 days in advance and store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Any leftovers should be stored in a container with lid, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
