Best Potatoes for Instant Pot Salad

I tested Russet, Yukon and Red potatoes. I found that Russet potatoes don’t hold their shape well and can get mushy in the salad. It simply because they are low in moisture and very starchy.

Both Yukon (all-purpose potatoes) and Red potatoes showed great results in this Instant Pot Potato salad. They held their shape really well when pressure cooking with eggs for 4 minutes. I highly recommend to use either Yukon or Red potatoes.

  • Fill the inner pot of your Instant Pot with 1 ½ cup of water.

  • Put the cubed (1 inch x 1 inch) potatoes in the basket.
  • Place eggs on the potatoes.

  • Select “Pressure Cooker”, set time for 4 minutes.

How long can I Store This Salad?

Immediately refrigerate after making as it has mayonnaise. Store for 2-3 day.

Tip. If you plan to prepare this salad ahead of time or you doubled the ingredients and won’t be able to finish it in 2-3 days, don’t add mayonnaise. You can do you before serving. In this case you can store it for 6-7 days in the fridge.

Serving Instant Pot Potato Salad

  • At potluck parties, I always place it over the bowl of ice, it helps to keep this salad safe for 2-3 hours.
  • If you are transporting it, do it in a cooler and without mayonnaise.
