Preparing Potatoes for Potato Salad

My husband loves potato salad, but I seldom made it because for me, it took a lot of preparation time. Not any more though since I discovered this trick.

Now when I prepare potatoes in the pressure cooker for supper, I just add a few more to have left overs. While we are eating, those extra potatoes are cooling and after finishing our meal, I dice them and make potato salad to have for supper the next night.

This is the way I prefer to prepare potatoes for potato salad.

Wash the potatoes. Do not peel. Put potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Put lid on pot and bring to a boil. Boil gently for 20 minutes and turn heat off. Do not remove the lid. Let sit for 3 hours. Drain and chill potatoes by adding ice cubes around the potatoes. Peel and dice.

When you mix potatoes with the other ingredients, the potatoes stay firm and do not come to pieces.
