Skin on or skin off? Clap on, clap off….. Sorry, I couldn’t help it. I love the color this Classic Red Bliss Potato Salad. It’s so festive and delicious and so easy to make.  My family switches off between the Classic Red Bliss Potato Salad and the Summer Picnic Potato Salad, which we make without the skin and with a bit of dill pickle. In less than 20 minutes, you’ll have potato salad chillin’ in the fridge!

I generally figure about two pounds of potatoes to four large eggs  It makes it easy to weigh out the potatoes at the grocery store. Cooking the eggs with the potatoes in the Pressure Cooker makes things so much easier.

Scrub the potatoes, remove any of the “eyes” or brown spots, cut into cubes and place in strainer basket or on a trivet, with eggs nestled in between the potatoes.

While the potatoes and eggs are cooking, mix up the sauce. It will taste too salty, but don’t worry, once you add the eggs and potatoes, it will be fine. We like the Hellmann’s/Best Food Olive Oil Mayonnaise or a Light Mayonnaise, but use whatever your family likes.

Once potatoes and eggs are cooked and cooled, add them to a large bowl and add the mayonnaise mixture.

Gently mix everything together and chill for at least one hour. Adjust spices as necessary.

Sprinkle with dill weed, if desired. Pair these Pressure Cooker Classic Red Bliss Potato Salad with my Pressure Cooker Homemade Carolina Spare Ribs and my Pressure Cooker Holiday Baked Beans.

    Delicious!!! Love the spices and how easy it was cooking the eggs with the potatoes in the instant pot. Only tweak was to add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. It turned out amazing! Thank you!!

    How would I cook whole red potatoes for this potato salad? I like to do mine whole on the stove, with eggs, then cook and slice. Any tips? Can’t wait to try this. Thank you!

    This is my families all time favorite! I have never even really liked potato salad. The only thing I do different is add bacon. Thank you for this great recipe!

    I like your recipes. I cannot find your potato salad that has the celery salt in it. I make my own celery salt. It is the best. And you potato salad with celery salt and chopped dill pickle is the best too. I also like your Holiday Baked Beans.

    I know that it’s standard procedure to cool potatoes before adding the dressing, but if you throw the hot/warm potatoes into the dressing they will absorb the dressing & your salad will have much more flavor than if you wait ’til the taters are cool to dress them. It will take more dressing though.

    After searching for a while I’ve decided on your recipe. Looks outrageously delish and will make asap.

    I just made this and it is excellent! Didn’t change anything other than added a 1/2 cup of chopped celery. The eggs and potatoes both cooked perfectly! Eggs were super easy to peel. Not only was it the easiest potato salad to make, it’s the tastiest I’ve ever had! Thank you for the recipe.

    My wife makes fantastic potato salad. Me? Not so much. I made a half recipe of the Red Bliss Potato Salad recipe and it was quite possibly the best potato salad I’ve ever made. Easy peasy, too. Thanks!

    Awesome recipe! Made this yesterday and turned out great. I only had 3 eggs and 1.5 pounds of eggs so probably should have reduced cooking time by a minute – slightly overdone, but still yummy!
