My Instant Pot Potato Salad is a completely “hands off” meal!  It allows you to cook the eggs and potatoes together in one pot with no mess. 
 
Instant Pot Potato Salad is the perfect side dish to bring along for a picnic.  It even works well as a simple side dish for a family dinner at home.
 
Eggs add extra flavor and protein to this yummy side.  
 
Save some time!  While the eggs and potatoes are cooking, you can prep the rest of the ingredients so everything is ready to toss together. 
 
Dried herbs are fine, but fresh dill makes Instant Pot Potato Salad taste even more amazing!

Pro Tips…

You can substitute dried dill for fresh if you have to, but only use 1/2 of the amount.
