Pressure Cooker Potato Salad is so simple to make because you can cook the eggs and the potatoes at the same time which means it’s cooked in about ten minutes!
This is my own recipe for Bacon and Egg potato salad that I’ve been making for years on my Noshtastic Blog, but I’ve now adapted it to work as a pressure cooker potato salad so that I could make it in my Instant Pot instead of on the stove in two separate pans.
On the stove the potatoes and eggs have a different cook times, but we can make it all in one in the pressure cooker!
Tips for Making Pressure Cooker Potato Salad
- My top tip is to choose a waxy potato for your pressure cooker potato salad. Waxy potatoes hold their shape better and tend not to fall apart in the same way that a more fluffy potato like russets do. We used small waxy baby potatoes for this recipe.
- It’s important that you cut your potatoes relatively small so that they will cook along with the eggs. I used baby potatoes and cut them in quarters.
- To get the best crispy bacon cook it on a rack over a sheet pan in your oven at 375 until it’s fully crispy, it will cook more evenly than in a pan on the stove and will get good and crispy as the bacon is not sitting in the grease. It will take 20 minutes or more to get fully crispy.
