Instant Pot® Potato Salad image

Save yourself time and one less pot to wash by cooking your potatoes and eggs together and in the same pot. I heard about this hack and decided to try it out myself. Not only were the potatoes and eggs cooked perfectly, the shells slipped right off of the eggs, making this a breeze to put together. Feel free to change up the ingredients to suit your go-to potato salad recipe but I highly recommend using this method to cook your potatoes and eggs.

This is one of the easiest and quickest potato salads you can make. Try it once as posted and next time add or substract items that you think would improve the dish. Do not add too much water to the mixture--add only enough to moisten the potatoes. I can almost guarantee that anyone eating this salad will not know it was made from instant potato flakes. NOTE: Do not use potato buds in recipe--they change the texture.

INSTANT POT BBQ CHICKEN WITH POTATO SALAD



Instant Pot BBQ Chicken with Potato Salad image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, halved or quartered if large
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 6), halved
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 scallion, sliced
Pickles, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread the potatoes in an Instant Pot. Add 2/3 cup hot water and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Fit a rack on top. Toss the chicken with 1 teaspoon olive oil and the chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken thighs on the rack. Put on and lock the lid, making sure the steam valve is in the sealing position. Set the pot to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar in a small bowl.
  • When the time is up on the Instant Pot, carefully turn the steam valve to the venting position. When all the steam is released, turn off the pot and remove the lid. Carefully lift out the rack with the chicken and set on a plate. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to the bowl with the vinaigrette. Scoop or pour out all but about 1/2 cup of the liquid in the pot. Set the pot to sauté on high and return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the ketchup mixture. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the celery and scallion to the potatoes and toss. Serve the chicken with the potato salad and pickles.

Tips:

  • For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy. You can check by inserting a fork into the center of a potato; it should go in easily, but there should still be a slight resistance.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. This gives the flavors time to meld.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and help the potatoes to keep their shape.
  • Once the potatoes are cool, drain them and add them to the dressing. Gently toss to coat.
  • Add other ingredients, such as chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs, to taste.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the potato salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Potato salad is a classic summer side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the best potato salad every time. So, fire up your grill, invite some friends over, and enjoy a delicious potato salad!
