It wouldn’t be summer without picnics, and it wouldn’t be a picnic without potato salad. This potato salad recipe pairs perfectly with any grill, barbeque or potluck entrée, making this your new go-to side dish for any get-together.
What’s so amazing about this potato salad? Well besides the fact that it’s filled with BACON and parmesan cheese, what makes this recipe so amazing is that, in the Instant Pot, you can cook the eggs and potatoes together at the same time, cutting down on both time and clean-up.
And if you’ve ever boiled eggs in the Instant Pot you know they are ridiculously easy to peel. Crack the egg shell and roll it between your hands. The shell practically falls off on its own. You’ll be amazed!
