I love potatoes but what I don’t like about them is the time involved until they’re cooked. This Instant Pot Loaded Potato Salad recipe is currently my favorite potato salad recipe. It gets nice flavor from our favorite baked potato toppings. The Instant Pot reduces the time substantially and keeps the kitchen nice and cool. This Instant Pot Loaded Potato Salad has been a hit each time I served it. It is a perfect side dish for any bbq, meal or gathering. Here’s how I make it.
