Instant Pot Potato Salad

We love the classic potato salad in our house and usually make it with eggs. I personally eat it as a main dish as I find it very satisfying and filling. It’s bursting with flavor and has the most amazing texture! Super creamy with a little crunch that comes from the celery and green onions.

This classic salad is perfect for a BBQ. Burgers and potato salad? Count me in!

I also make this salad every time we go on a picnic, it’s really quick to make and can be easily be packed and enjoyed later. And if you like red potatoes, my creamy red potato salad is also a MUST TRY! It’s incredibly good!

Want to know what’s the secret behind the wonderful taste? Follow the recipe!

How to Make Instant Pot Potato Salad

  • To make sure that your potato salad is super creamy, use a creamy type of potatoes. That’s white potatoes or Yukon gold. 
  • Start by washing and peeling the potatoes, then dice into medium-sized cubes.
  • Place a steaming basket or a trivet in the Instant Pot, add 3/4 cup of water to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the potatoes, and put the eggs on top. Cover with the lid, place the valve to the sealing position.
  • Cook on pressure cook/manual – high pressure – 3 minutes.
  • When the cooking ends, do a quick release and open the lid.

Quickly put the eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process (you don’t want overcooked eggs).

Take the potatoes out, drizzle with a little bit of white vinegar and let them cool down for at least 10 minutes (preferably more). Chop the eggs, then add them to the potatoes along with the celery and green onions. You can reserve one egg to slice later and use it for decoration.

Make the dressing. Mix the mayonnaise with yellow mustard, celery seeds, salt, and ground black pepper.

Add the dressing to the potatoes, and give it a gentle stir until everything is well coated.

Chill the salad in the fridge for at least one hour before serving. The longer this salad sits for, the tastier it becomes. Whenever possible, I let the salad sit in my fridge overnight to enjoy on the next day.

And here you have it! The best potato salad ever! Enjoy!

    Easy to make, great salad. The diced potatoes came out great, my eggs could have cooked a bit longer, but not bad at all
