This Potato Salad with Bacon <\/strong>is a fun twist on the traditional BBQ side dish! Made with crispy bacon, sundried tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs, this potato salad recipe is extra easy to make in an Instant Pot!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n \u2764\ufe0f Why You’ll Love This Recipe: <\/strong>The eggs and potatoes cook at the same time in this super simple potato salad that\u2019s loaded with the flavors of your favorite summertime sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking for an easy and family-friendly way to add new flavors to your next outdoor gathering, this BLT salad is a must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve mastered the best way to cook hard-boiled eggs and perfectly tender potatoes at the same time so the components of the salad are ready at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We love making BBQ side dishes in our Instant Pot so we can use the grill or stove for entrees. You\u2019ll love this BLT potato salad, Amish Macaroni Salad<\/a>, and Instant Pot Egg Salad<\/a> at your next get-together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need these ingredients to make Instant Pot BLT Potato Salad:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by dicing the potatoes and placing them in the pressure cooker, then nestling the eggs in their shells on top. They’ll steam together in the pressure cooker at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the cook time ends, use a quick pressure release and plunge the eggs into an ice water bath to stop them from cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then make the dressing. I prefer pickle juice, mayo, and mustard, but you can use your favorite seasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once they’re nice and cold, peel and dice the cooled eggs and gently stir them into the potato salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If needed, add more mayonnaise to achieve desired consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chill the potato salad for least an hour before serving. Top with additional crumbled bacon, if you like, just before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n We get the BLT flavors in this salad by using sundried tomatoes<\/strong> instead of fresh tomatoes to avoid watering down the dressing too much. Plus, the flavor from the sundried is a really fun addition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We used the dry sundried tomatoes in this recipe. If you want to use the ones packed in oil, you can. However, be sure to check the label. Sometimes the oil-packed tomatoes add garlic and herbs. (Which could be amazing, depending on your preferences!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like to roughly chop the sundried tomatoes<\/strong> so they\u2019re small enough that you get sundried tomato in most bites, but large enough that you recognize the zing of flavor when you bite into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be sure to cut the potatoes into equal-sized chunks<\/strong> so they cook evenly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is our favorite steamer basket for cooking eggs and potatoes in the pressure cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n The bacon needs to be cooked before adding to the potato salad. However, if you like, you can cook the bacon directly in the pressure cooker before cooking the potatoes. Yes, if you\u2019re planning ahead, you can store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for a day before serving.\u00a0 Potato salad is great served cold or at room temperature.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Russets or yukon gold potatoes will work best for this potato salad.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> Yes, if there are changes you like in your potato salad dressing, go for it! Just make sure that the volume of liquids you substitute for are roughly the same. (For instance, if you hate pickle juice in your potato salad, I\u2019d recommend adding a tablespoon of another flavorful acid liquid like vinegar.)\u00a0 Recipes you can make with this or other recipes you might like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
