Ingredients
  

  • 3 Pounds of Idaho Potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 5 Cups of cold water
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel the potatoes and dice them up into about 1-inch cubes. Give them a quick rinse to make sure they are clean.
  • Place the diced potatoes in the pot and add the apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.
  • Gently place three eggs on top.
  • Seal the lid and pressure cook on low for 1 minute! Yes, that is it!
  • The potatoes and the eggs will be cooked to perfection I promise! Release the pressure immediately so you can get the eggs out and into an ice bath.
  • Drain out the water and put the potatoes in a bowl and put them in the fridge to cook as soon as possible. While the eggs and potatoes are cooking, you can work on the dressing for the potato salad.

  • Once the eggs are cool about 15 minutes, dice up the eggs as well. Mix well in a large bowl.
