Who doesn’t love a really good plate of potato salad? It’s essentially one of the most popular items when the summer rolls around – think grilling, barbecues, friends and family, and dishes to pass… it’s so much fun to get together with family and friends.
Potato Salad certainly always has a place at the table.
While most of us are used to the regular ‘ol potato salad made with baby reds or yukon golds mixed with mayo and sliced hard boiled eggs… this Potato Salad is just a tiny bit different.
Combine an ear of sweet corn with green onions, a chipotle pepper with sauce, mayo and potatoes cooked up quickly in the Instant Pot, and season with cumin, chile powder, salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Whip up this potato salad even faster if you have an Instant Pot – instead of boiling the potatoes on the stove, quickly peel and cut, and place in a steamer basket in your Instant Pot with 1 C. of water.
Depending on the size of the potatoes, allow 8-10 minutes for them to cook – then dump into a strainer and allow them to cool down (ice helps with this!)
Then stir in the rest of the ingredients and refrigerate until you are ready to eat!
