Ingredients
- 2 lbs Red Potatoes Thick Sliced
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium Red Onion Diced
- ½ cup Chicken Broth
- ¼ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Grain Mustard
- ¼ cup Parsley Chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to "Saute". Add the bacon to the Instant Pot. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. While the bacon cooks, slice the potatoes into thick pieces. Dice the red onion into pieces.
- After the bacon has gotten crispy, take it out of the Instant Pot and let it drain on paper towel lined plate.
- Add the diced red onion to the bacon grease. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the steamer basket to the Instant Pot. Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot. Add the sliced potatoes to the steamer basket. Cancel the saute function and close the lid of the Instant Pot.
- Set the cooking time to 5 minutes on high pressure. After 5 minutes, quick release the pressure. Remove the lid of the Instant Pot and take out the potatoes. Place them in a large bowl.
- Set the Instant Pot to saute mode again and add the grainy mustard and apple cider vinegar. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the dressing has reduced slightly.
- Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Chop the crispy bacon and add it to the bowl. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- The Instant Pot will take 5-10 minutes to come up to pressure.
- The best types of potatoes to use are Yukon gold potatoes, red bliss potatoes, new potatoes, or fingerling potatoes. Russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they tend to fall apart.
- Garnish this potato salad with chopped green onion, the crispy bacon, fresh parsley, or your favorite fresh herbs.
- It will look like there is a lot of dressing, but the warm potatoes will soak up a lot of the warm dressing.
- White wine vinegar or white vinegar can be used instead of apple cider vinegar.
