Instant Pot Potato Salad is going to become your favorite (and only!) way to prepare the dish. It’s perfect for serving at cookouts, picnics, or any dinner. When I make it, I love to set some aside to enjoy warm. The rest of my family prefers it chilled. Either way, it’s delicious!

The Instant Pot Makes This Dish a Breeze!
I fought buying an Instant Pot for months. When we moved to our forever home last year, I was excited to clear out a lot of gadgets that I hadn’t used in ages. When I sat down to work on our schedule for the next couple of months, I finally gave in because of the time it would save us. Thursday and Friday nights will be packed full of football this fall for our boys — and we all need good food to get us through the season!
Cooking potato salad in the Instant Pot seemed a little scary at first. I didn’t want to overcook the potatoes, making them too soft. The eggs need to be perfectly cooked with soft, creamy yolks. The great part — they can be cooked together!
