How to Make Rice Cooker Potato Salad

  1. Wash and peel 1.5 pounds of potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place the cubed potatoes in the rice cooker inner pot. Add 1 cup of water.
  3. Place 6 large eggs in the steaming basket and set it on top of the potatoes.
  4. Close the rice cooker lid and cook on the 'white rice' setting for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove the steaming basket with the eggs. Immediately place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  6. While the eggs are cooling, drain the potatoes, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. (You can add more if needed for creamier results.)
  7. In a large bowl, mash the potatoes slightly. You can leave some chunks for texture.
  8. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs. Add them to the mashed potatoes.
  9. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Stir to combine all the ingredients until well mixed. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  11. Serve warm or chill before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
