French Potato Salad
So how on earth can you make this french potato salad in 15 minutes?
Two words. Pressure Cooker.
But even if you don't have a pressure cooker, you can still make this simple and delicious no mayo potato salad recipe in under 30 minutes!!!
Potatoes might just be the perfect food, and I've never met one I didn't like... but this pressure cooker version is what I want to eat all summer long. Creamy potatoes, juicy, sun ripened tomatoes and a little hit of sweet corn all wrapped in a snappy, mustardy vinaigrette
This is the room temperature side dish that backyard bbq's, beach parties and casual evenings with friends and family
What you will need:
- Potatoes - firm waxy
potatoes like red bliss or Yukon gold potatoes work great. I used baby potatoes, but if you can't find them, just use larger potatoes and cut them into chunks. - Cherry tomatoes - Teardrop tomatoes work as well - and if you can find the baby heirloom tomatoes, this no mayo potato salad is absolutely stunning!
- Corn - fresh corn I think has the best flavor and texture, but if all you have is frozen - go for it!
- Fresh herbs - I used tarragon and parsley but if you can't find tarragon, all parsley works well.
- Dijon Mustard: I like Maille, but any good quality dijon mustard works. This dressing is delicious, BTW so don't worry if you have extra!
- White Wine Vinegar: My new favorite white wine vinegar is by Vilux, but use whatever one you like!
How to make this Easy Potato Salad:
- Saute the onions in the olive oil. If your pressure cooker has this function, you can do this right in the pot. If it doesn't or you are making the salad on the stove, saute the onions in medium sized skillet.
- Add the potatoes and the stock to the pressure cooker. Lock the lid and cook for 3 minutes. If making on the stove, add the potatoes, stock and water to a 3 quart dutch oven and bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender - about 15 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, do a quick release of the pressure. For the stovetop version, drain the potatoes.
- Add the corn and mix.
- Pour onto a platter or bowl and add the tomatoes and stir to combine. Drizzle with the dressing and serve!

Recipe Notes
Extra potato salad can be stored in the refrigerator overnight. The potatoes will become a bit softer, but the salad will still taste delicious!
