Finally the past week or so, it has felt more like summer here. Temperatures have been in the 80s and even 90s. Plus, summer vacation for my girls has also finally arrived. So, of course my family and I have been enjoying grilling and eating outdoors on our patio more and more now.
One of our favorite side dishes when we barbecue and eat outside is potato salad.
However, boiling potatoes on the stove can be truly no fun at all. I mean it is already so very hot. While yes, we have our air conditioning on to keep the temps down indoors. I still am not a fan of using my stove or oven this time of the year if I don’t. Once again this is where my favorite kitchen appliance comes into play.

Yes, I am happily sharing yet another summer instant pot recipe here for one of my all-time favorites during the summer and warmer months.
My family and I happen to love potatoes all year long. I mean what is not to love about potato recipes. So, of course, potato salad in the summer time is a must here.
So, that is where my instant pot yet again comes into play. This time out I used Heirloom Potatoes, which have that reddish, purple color. I happen to love using Heirloom Potatoes for potato salad. Not only are the on the smaller side. But they just have so much flavor already.
Plus, I use eggs, mayo, mustard and salt and pepper for extra added flavor. And even pickles chopped, too! So much yummy and delicious ingredients that you just can’t go wrong. Plus, perfect summer time side that is easily and quickly made in your instant pot.

Janine,
We love potato salad at my house. Cooking the potatoes in the pressure cooker is so easy which means we can have potato salad all the time. Who wouldn’t want it all the time? It goes with everything. To make it easier, I do not even bother to peel my potatoes either.
Thanks for sharing!
Diane
Janine says
