A quick and easy potato salad made in the Instant Pot with a creamy, tangy dressing, perfect for summer parties and casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup water (for Instant Pot cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling water)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 large celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks. No need to peel.
  2. Place the potatoes in the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon salt. Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  3. Perform a quick release by turning the valve to venting. Use a slotted spoon to transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Let cool slightly (about 10 minutes) so they’re warm but not hot.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add 3 finely chopped celery stalks, 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish, 3 thinly sliced green onions, and 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs (optional) to the bowl with potatoes.
  6. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture. Do not overcook potatoes to avoid mushiness. Mix dressing into warm potatoes for better flavor absorption. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for dietary preferences.
