HOW TO MAKE POTATO SALAD IN INSTANT POT

As I mentioned earlier, making potato salad in the instant pot is so simple - and way quicker than making it any other way.

And all you really have to do is cut the potatoes and mix the ingredients, that's it!

Oh, and you'll need two hard boiled eggs to make it, so you might want to prepare those - or buy them at the store - before starting anything else.

Now gather your ingredients, get out your instant pot, and let's get cooking!

STEP 1: COOKING THE POTATOES 

First, place the potatoes and cup of water in the instant pot, and cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.

Then when 10 minutes is up, release all the steam, take the potatoes out, and let them cool completely. 

To release the steam, turn the venting knob from the sealed to vent position and keep it open until the steam has stopped flowing and the floating valve has dropped. And then you can open the lid. 

STEP 2: MAKING THE POTATO SALAD

Once the potatoes cool, remove the skin, cut them into cubes, and put them in a large bowl.

Then add the hard boiled eggs, red onion, pickles, mayonnaise, and dijon mustard to the bowl. Mix everything until well combined and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

To finish up, serve with some chives or green onions on top and enjoy!

HOW TO STORE POTATO SALAD

So, as I mentioned, this recipe makes about 4 servings. And depending on if you doubled or tripled the recipe, you might have some leftovers.

If you do and want to know how long potato salad is good for, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

Just make sure that you don't leave it out at room temperature for more than 2 hours before refrigerating.
