Get ready to impress at your next BBQ with this deliciously simply Instant Pot Roasted Loaded Baked Potato Salad! It takes everything you already love about loaded baked potatoes and turns it into the perfect cold salad to compliment any meal!
I love loaded potatoes with my meal, so turning that concept into a cold salad that would be perfect for my next outdoor BBQ was the inspiration for this! As with all of my recipes, this recipe is super simple to follow. I have tried different store bought versions of Loaded Potato Salads, and they are mediocre, at best, and super expensive. That got me experimenting with my Instant Pot!
I knew there just had to be a way to make it cheaper than the store’s version and way tastier! You know where there’s a will, there’s a way!
So, the first thing I experimented with was with the different types of potatoes. I found that the baby heirloom potatoes gave me the desired taste that I was wanted and actually held up better in the salad. Now, the potatoes are a multi-step process, you’re first roasting them in the saute mode of the Instant Pot, then steaming them in the IP, and finishing them with cooling in the fridge. Trust me and don’t try to skip a step. The Instant Pot Roasted Loaded Baked Potato Salad will not turn out right if you do.
Once they are chilled, pick the perfect size cut for your family, diced or cubed, quartered, whatever you want! I like to leave my in bigger pieces honesty because my little guy doesn’t like this much anyway, so I don’t really have to make it kid friendly. He’s just not much of a potato fan at all, if you can believe that!
After you cut up your potatoes, it’s time put this all together! I chose to put 12 oz. of bacon for the recipe, but if you have Bacon-holics in your household, like I do, then you can always add more. I mean, you can’t go wrong with bacon! Am I right? Also, I have that mayonnaise is optional, but I truly prefer that little bit of smoothness in the flavor!
Once you have the ingredients all mixed up, you can serve right away. However, I personally like to let it chill for at least an hour to have the flavors enhance with each other before serving!
Trust me when I say, Instant Pot Roasted Loaded Baked Potato Salad will be a delicious addition to your next picnic or BBQ. It pairs well with burgers, brats, hot dogs, steaks, ribs, and more! Your friends and family will be dying to know your recipe as they ask for more!
