Instant Pot Potato Salad takes all the headaches out of making potato salad! This potato salad comes together in the blink of an eye. Tender potatoes smothered in a creamy mayo based sauce! The perfect weeknight side dish or cookout side dish for your next potluck.

Instant Pot Potato Salad is one of the most amazing side dishes to make in your instant pot.  The last BBQ we hosted at our house featured this delicious potato salad, instant pot baked beans (OMG!) and Instant Pot Mexican Street Corn.  Every single one is equally delicious and was a superstar in itself that day.  I usually dread making potato salad but having the ease of cooking it all in one pot.

My husband took the leftovers to work and text me the next day telling me how delicious this potato salad was.  Which means it was that good!!!! Good enough to get it’s very own text message. LOL Every bit worthy too. It is a great recipe that your family will love for years to come.

4 Minute Instant Pot Potato Salad

The best one-pot dish you can make for your next BBQ! I love the ease of cooking both my potatoes and eggs in just a quick 4 minutes.  Super delicious creamy potato salad chock full of hard-boiled eggs.

How Long Do You Cook Potatoes In Instant Pot

4 minutes is all you need to cook your potatoes in the Instant Pot! They will be tender, and the perfect texture for your pressure cooker potato salad.

Best Potatoes For Potato Salad

For my particular potato salad I have found that russet potatoes stand up the best. They offer a creamy starch but hold together well so you don’t have too mushy of a mess.

You will see a lot of people use russets, Yukon Gold and red potatoes in potato salad.

Mayo or Miracle Whip

We love real mayonnaise in our home, but if you prefer Miracle Whip swap it out with the same 1 cup measurement!

How To Store Potato Salad

Once you have finished your potato salad transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge. Because of the ingredients it will go bad if it sits out on counter.

How Long Will Potato Salad Last In The Fridge

You can enjoy your potato salad for 3-4 days before it goes bad. Anything after that you need to toss out.

Can Potato Salad Be Made A Day Ahead

Yes, you can make potato salad the day before you plan to serve it. Just store in the fridge until you are ready to get it out for your meal.

What Should I Serve With Potato Salad

Potato salad is so versatile you can pair it with pretty much anything! From chicken to burgers to even sandwiches. Potato salad makes a great summer cookout side dish.

Should You Peel Potatoes for Potato Salad

This is all personal preference. If you love potato salad with the peels feel free to leave them on. Or if you want a smoother and creamier salad, take a second and peel before tossing in.

Easy Side Dish Recipe
