Pressure Cooker Potato Salad – Italian Style
This potato salad is not your average side dish. It’s packed with vibrant herbs, crunchy veggies, and a creamy dressing that makes it absolutely irresistible. Cooking the potatoes in a pressure cooker not only saves time but also ensures that they remain fluffy and tender!
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of small potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 cup of green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup of red onion, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup of olives, sliced (black or green, your choice)
- 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup of basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of mustard (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by adding your potatoes to the pressure cooker. Pour in just enough water to cover the bottom, and cook on high pressure for about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to follow your pressure cooker instructions for this part.
- Once the time is up, carefully release the pressure and check if the potatoes are fork-tender. If they are, drain them and set aside.
- In the same pressure cooker (off the heat), add the green beans to the hot potatoes and let them steam for about 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes and beans are cooling, in a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Add the cooled potatoes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, red onion, olives, parsley, and basil into the bowl. Gently toss everything together until well mixed.
- Let the potato salad chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This helps all those flavors meld beautifully.
- Serve it up and get ready for the rave reviews – this salad is a winner!
So there you have it, y’all! A vibrant and flavorful Pressure Cooker Potato Salad that brings a taste of Italy to your gathering. Pair it with some grilled meats or even on its own, and watch it disappear!
