Make Instant Pot Red Potatoes and used them to make Potato Salad or any recipe that calls for cooked potatoes. Make perfect fork tender red potatoes in the pressure cooker in only 35 minutes.
Scrub the potatoes thoroughly, place the rack inside the Instant Pot, add the water and salt, then stack the potatoes on the rack. Secure the lid and prepare the pressure cooker for steaming.
Set the Instant Pot to the Steam setting and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes. Once the cooking cycle ends, allow the pressure to release naturally without opening the lid immediately.
Let the potatoes continue to naturally release pressure for about 25 minutes. Carefully open the lid once all pressure has released and check that the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
Remove the potatoes immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel if desired, cut into bite-sized pieces, and use about 4 pounds of steamed potatoes for potato salad.
