    Amish Potato Salad – a potato salad recipe that can be made with or without an Instant Pot, and that uses simple ingredients, with a hint of sweetness, unlike our red-skin potato salad recipe. It’s one of many of our savory salad recipes that we recommend as a side dish for any barbeque.

    Amish Potato Salad

    We’re BIG fans of salad recipes around here and adding this Amish Potato salad recipe to mix was a MUST!

    Speaking of what we’re fans of… then we can’t fail to mention that we’re also big fans of the Instant Pot.

    (See my Instant Pot review, and the Instant Pot recipes here on the blog that you’ll want to get your hands on too!)

    So creating an Amish potato salad recipe that you can make by using the Instant Pot, just made sense, and is hopefully a quick and easy solution for you, for this very popular side dish!

    What’s the Difference in Amish Potato Salad and Regular Potato Salad?

    I had this question too. After reading an article online about this, I now know! Turns out, Amish potato salad tends to have a sweeter taste, than traditional potato salad. You can read more about that on RecipeLion: “Difference Between Amish & Regular Potato Salad“

    How to Make Amish Potato Salad

    Although we’re fans of using an Instant Pot for this recipe, it’s not a MUST. (Especially making eggs in the Instant Pot for this!)

    Boiling your potatoes in a stock pot on the stove will work just as well, and can be made just as easy!

    You’ll find the full recipe at the end of this post, but I’d love to walk you through with photos in case you love the step-by-step tutorial too!

    Amish Potato Salad

    Cut the Red Potatoes

    Cut your potatoes into bite-sized pieces, and place into the Instant Pot.

    Add in the Chicken Stock

    Pour in the chicken stock, secure the lid of the Instant Pot, close the steam vent, and set to manual high for 4 minutes. If you need chicken broth, you can make my easy chicken broth recipe.

    If Making Without the Instant Pot

    In a stock pot, bring water to a boil, add potatoes and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 8-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (Not mushy!) Drain and set aside.

    While cooking, or once the potatoes are finished, chop the hard-boiled eggs, onion, celery, and red pepper into small pieces. Add to cooked potatoes.
