Calories: 258kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp whole grain dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 lbs red potatoes, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups water
- 8 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- chopped flat Italian parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing. Whisk together the apple cider vinegar, whole grain mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Place the potatoes in the Instant Pot and pour in the water. Close the lid and pressure cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Once the time is up, open the valve to quickly release the pressure.
- Drain the potatoes into a colander and rinse with cold water. The potatoes should be fork-tender and soft.
- Wipe out any excess water in the Instant Pot and set it to saute mode. Once heated, add the bacon and cook until browned and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Discard excess bacon grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the Instant Pot. Add onion and garlic and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Turn off the Instant Pot. Pour in the potatoes, bacon, and dressing. Gently fold the ingredients together until combined and the dressing completely coats the potatoes.Allow the salad to rest for 10 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
This dish is best served the day it’s made, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
Swap out the red potatoes for another kind of potato cut into 1-inch pieces.
Use turkey bacon for a lower-calorie option.
