Instant Pot German Potato Salad

Instant Pot German Potato Salad can be made all in on pot. Made with potatoes, bacon, onion and a vinegar based dressing makes a delicious side dish for any meal. 

German potato salad is a dish my mom used to make us. It is a dish that her mom made for her when she was young. This potato salad is made with a vinegar based dressing instead of they typical American mayonnaise version. 

How to make German potato salad

• To make this potato salad, start with turning your Instant Pot to Saute mode. Add chopped bacon to Instant pot and cook until starting to brown.
• Add in chopped onion and stir for 2-3 minutes. 

• In a separate bowl, stir together mustard, vinegar, sugar and chicken broth.
• Add potatoes to Instant pot and then pour vinegar mixture over the potatoes.
• Lock lid into place and turn the vent to sealing. Pressure cook for 6 minutes and then manually release pressure.
• Serve potato salad topped with chopped fresh parsley or green onion. 

Tips for making Instant Pot German Potato Salad

• Use thicker sliced or center cut bacon
• I made this with small golden dutch potatoes but red potatoes, and Idaho or Russet potatoes work well. 
• You could substitute brown mustard or even honey mustard for the Dijon mustard.

What to serve with German potato salad

This dish can be served warm or cold. I like it both ways! I like serving it with chicken schnitzel. 

If you don’t have any Instant Pot, you should think about adding one to your kitchen. They are great for preparing meals quickly! I like the 6 qt. for my family of 5.
