Instant Pot Potato Salad

Summer staple the potato salad is. Costco has some great potato salad but I have found it pretty easy to make it when using my instant pot. There are so many ways to make potatoes salad but I just love the classic. When they are in season we do love to add radishes which give an extra crunch and zing of taste. We love radishes and they are so good for you :) 

So here is my take on the potato salad. The picture is not mine but is from healthfitnessmeals.com

Ingredients

Approx 2lbs Baby potatoes (half a bag of Costco baby potatoes)

3 Eggs

3 stalks celery 

1/3 cup sliced radishes (more or less to your taste)

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced. (more or less to your taste)

Dressing

2 cups mayo (light or reg-your choice)

1 tbsp reg mustard

1/2 tbsp dijon mustard (you can omit this if you don't have it.) 

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dill

1/4 cup pickle relish (or chopped up dill pickles - or just use the juice)

I also add pickle juice to mine - whatever you have - I used bread and butter pickle juice about 1/4 cup. 

salt & pepper - a few dashes.

Directions

1. In the instant pot put in your trivet on the bottom then put a steamer basket on that. Add 1/2 - 1 cup of water on the bottom. 

2. Wash your baby potatoes and cut them in half - add to the steamer basket. put 3 whole eggs on top of potatoes. 

3. Close the Instant Pot lid and turn to sealing. On manual or pressure cook setting turn the time to 7 mins then let it do its thing. Let it sit when done for about 5 mins then release the pressure. 

4. Carefully take out the basket remove the eggs and add them to cold water. Set the potatoes aside to cool while you chop the vegetables and make the dressing. 

5. Chop celery, radishes, and onions, and add to large bowl. Once potatoes are cool enough add to chopped vegetables. You can cut the potatoes a little smaller if you would like as some pieces might be quite big.  Peel the eggs and chop adding to the bowl. 

6. Combined all the dressing ingredients together and mix well. Add on top of everything and toss to coat evenly. 

You can add some fresh dill and slices of radishes to garnish if you would like.

Cover and chill in the fridge.  

**This is best when made early to let it sit in the fridge for a while so the flavored can really meld together. Really good the next day.
