Potato Salad in Instant Pot
This potato salad is super easy to make and will be perfect for those who are new to Instant Pot. You canโt go wrong with it even if you donโt have a steamer basket for your Instant Pot. Why is this Instant pot potato salad recipe the BEST?
- The potatoes are not mushy, but tender and light.

Best Potatoes for Instant Pot Salad
I tested Russet, Yukon and Red potatoes. I found that Russet potatoes donโt 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.

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 wonโt be able to finish it in 2-3 days, donโt 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.
