Instructions
Timing note: Unless you buy pre-hard-boiled eggs, cook your eggs and potatoes at the same time. See above for our favorite way to hardboil eggs in the Instant Pot.
Place diced potatoes in a large pot and fill the pot with water about an inch above the potatoes. Salt the water very well (at least 1 tablespoon). Bring to a boil at medium-high heat and allow to boil for 8 minutes. Drain potatoes and add to a large bowl to cool.
Once potatoes are cool to the touch, add all ingredients to the bowl and gently stir until completely combined. Chill immediately until serving.
