Instructions
Instructions
- Start with potatoes – peel and dice ‘em into bite-sized cubes while your large pot of salted water heats.
- Place potatoes in pressure cooker if you wanna stick with the cooker, add just enough water to cover, seal the lid, make sure the sealing ring is set up right.
- Set pressure and bring it to pressure build, then cook for about 5 minutes on high pressure.
- Quick release the pressure so potatoes don’t turn mushy, then drain and lay ‘em out to cool to room temperature in a big mixing bowl.
- Hard boil the egg in a separate pot for about 10-12 minutes then peel and chop that up nice and fine.
- Mix up dressing – combine sour cream, mayo, pickle relish, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl. Then add cooled potatoes, chopped egg, scallions, bell pepper, celery and gently stir until everything’s just coated.
