Instant Pot Steamed Potatoes and Potato Salad

Beautiful organic potatoes steam easily and quickly in the Instant Pot !

Steaming potatoes in the Instant Pot is easy peasy. I mean it. 

Simply wash and quarter your potatoes. Place them in a steamer basket inside the liner of the Instant Pot. Add water and set to pressure cook for 4-5 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. I steamed this batch for 4 minutes.

Once steamed, I proceeded to make a simple delicious potato salad using celery, scallions, and plant-based mayonnaise which I made myself in just minutes. 

Ingredients: 

15 medium potatoes, washed and quartered

2 cups of water

Directions: 

Place the steamer basket into the insert liner of the Instant Pot. Add the quartered potatoes and water. Secure lid making sure the pressure valve is sealed. Set to pressure cook for 4-5 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. When done, cancel function and release steam according to the manufacturers directions. When done, carefully remove the lid and the steamer basket. Place potatoes into a bowl to cool.
