  Okay! You could also just boil potatoes and cook eggs like a normal potato salad then proceed with recipe 😀

  have you tried German Potato Salad in your slow cooker? It is so delicious! It is a hot dish, but an awesome side dish anytime of the year. I think I just talked myself into making it tomorrow

   Interesting! I’d never imagine that eggs and potatoes could cook in the same amount of time. 4 minutes really is quick!

  Yes correct- you just place them on top of the raw cubed potatoes, then steam

  Just rinse your eggs with white vinegar then rinse with cold water before you add to pot. This should stop contamination issues..

  Unless you really clean your raw egg shells, your contaminating your potatoes. They do not clean the shells that well.

  Wonder if we could put the eggs in a separate container in the pot? To prevent contaminating the potatoes. Maybe a small metal container or a glass bowl. Do you think this would work?

  Yes, I’ve seen recipes where they open the eggs into a bowl and cook with the potatoes. Then you don’t need to peel them afterwards

  I have to admit to not even thinking of washing my eggs first as I’ve made this recipe twice. Would it be possible that the heat of the cooker would kill anything bad?

  If you are in the US and buying your eggs in a grocery store then they are required by law to sanitize the eggs. If you buy from a farm they may be morexlax, but your health department would probably like to know if you can physically see “dirt” on them.

  egg shells are dirty even if grocery purchased. 7000 pores on an egg shell. Wash your eggs. Shouldn’t even crack on side of a bowl

  Raw egg shells do carry bacteria, but so does raw meat, and we count on the Instant Pot to kill those germs via cooking, right? I would wash the eggs, but if it gets hot enough in there to cook potatoes AND hard boil eggs in 4 minutes, then I would feel onlinefortable that any microscopic egg shell bacteria would be rendered harmless too.

  I cook in a pressure cooker and can in a large pressure canner. I would be afraid the stuff would be over cooked as it takes awhile for a regular pressure cooker to build up steam and seal and then awhile to cool down. I would call the onlinepany that makes the cooker you want to use first. Eggs tend to blow up with too much heat or pressure. just a thought…

  Run cold water over your pressure cooker when you take it off the stove. The pressure will drop fairly quickly and your food won’t overcook.

    Put some of your normal potato salad flavors in the water to flavor your potatos as they steam
    I used vinegar, sugar, salad supreme, salt, and pepper. Had some trouble with the pot though….My Instant pot came up to pressure, cooked required time but when I did the quick release, there was an unusually small release. As expected, the potatoes weren’t done. Did it again for 2 minutes, same thing. Did it AGAIN for 4 minutes-had good pressure release and OVERDONE potatoes! Oh well, nothing is foolproof!

    Unbelievably easy to make! We aren’t fans of mustard in our potato salad so I just lessened it a bit. I also added chopped pimentos. It was soooo good. I mixed everything in the Instant pot (Insert pan) so I had only one pan to clean at end. No mess on my stove either from boiling potatoes and eggs. LOVE my Instant Pot and thank you for the recipe!!!

    I’ve only had my IP for several weeks and have just started getting onlinefortable with it. The biggest trick was remembering to set the valve to seal instead of vent. Yesterday I tried your potato salad – it simply doesn’t onlinee any easier, right? Even when I sat down to look through Pinterest “for five minutes” and lost track of time. My quick release turned into normal release and 24 minutes later I remembered the potatoes. I thought I would have soup but was so surprised by the potatoes being still usable, not as firm as I would have liked but still very usable for the salad. The eggs on the other hand……while they still tasted fine, they didn’t look fine. I set them aside for egg salad and cooked new eggs for the potato salad. I have friends visiting that I haven’t seen in many years and will be happy to serve this to them….I loved it!

    If I use half the eggs and half the potatoes would I also need to half the amount of water? Would half the water be enough to run a 6qt instant pot? I’m the only one who eats potato salad in my house so it’s just too big of a batch.

    This is great. I have a regular pressure cooker and the process outlined here works. I put the potatoes in the basket and seal the pot. Put on the heat and when your pressure cooker reaches max pressure start the timer. 4 minutes is perfect. When the 4 minutes are up do a quick release and your potatoes are done. Eggs too! No explosions.

    This is pretty close to the recipe I use for potato salad and it’s so yummy. I also add shredded carrots to mine and I love that addition. I’ve also always just added the eggs to the potatoes when I boil them but I’m game to try this method. Plenty of time on my hands now that we are isolating…

    I’ve had a lot of bags of potatoes go bad because it took too much work cooking potatoes for a potato salad. Mainly having to peel the potatoes while they were not quite cooled down. A recipe I use has many (after cooking) stages in the prep. Peeling and cutting the potatoes ahead of time would be great.
