Pressure Cooker Potato Salad with Carrots

Pressure Cooker Potato Salad with Carrots made in your Instant Pot. Sneaking in carrots will help add something healthy to your potato salad.

Because of my love for my Healthy Potato Carrot Mash and my Summer Picnic Potato Salad, I was inspired to make a healthier version of my Summer Picnic Potato Salad using my Pressure Cooker and I decided to add carrots to see if it would still be good, as a cold salad.

Well, not only is it good, it is delicious. The carrots give a slightly sweeter taste to the overall flavor and you end up eating some vegetables instead of totally potatoes! I rarely make plain ole mashed potatoes, since I love my Healthy Potato Carrot Mash, as much as plain mashed potatoes and it’s just about half the caloric in take!!!! You can’t beat that, kind of like having your cake and eating it to, right?

The ingredients are pretty much the same as my Summer Picnic Potato Salad, so if you don’t want to use carrots, use my original recipe or maybe you might like the Classic Red Bliss Potato Salad, so that you can change up the taste, or even serve both.

Carrots chopped on a chopping board.

Peel the potatoes and slice them into cubes. Carrots take slightly longer to cook in the Pressure Cooker than potatoes, so cut them slightly smaller. It’s best to try to keep the size as even as you can for even cooking.

The smaller end of the carrot, just needs a chop, but once you start to get to the larger end, you will have to cut the pieces in half.

Place the carrots and potato in a basket or pile them onto your trivet/steamer into your Pressure Cooker.

Add the eggs right on top. I use four or five eggs, so use what you like.

Chop up the onion and pickles into small pieces. I’m not great with a knife, so for mincing, I use this mini food processor for small jobs. I’ve had it for 20 years and it has held up well. If you can’t find an Ultimate Chopper, I would think you could find something similar. If you are good with the knife, you don’t need the help. 🙂

Whisk up the dressing really well and set aside in the refrigerator, while your potatoes, carrots and eggs are cooking in the Pressure Cooker.

Add the carrots and potatoes to a large mixing bowl.

After the potatoes, carrots and eggs have cooled, gently add the dressing and chopped eggs and gently, very gently, combine with a spatula so the dressing is evenly mixed through. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
