If you are looking for a potato salad with a twist for your next barbecue, this is it! Instant Pot Green Bean Potato Parmesan Salad is a recipe I found on the ALDI website, but made it even easier by cooking the potatoes (WHOLE) in my Instant Pot! If you don’t own an Instant Pot, (even though I highly suggest you go out and get one because I LOVE mine!), no worries because I’ve included the original directions also.

This salad has such a fresh, lemony flavor with LOTS of cheese and the green beans give it a nice, sweet crunch. I chose to use red skin potatoes over russet, because red skin are my absolute favorite potatoes! The ingredients are simple, and all available at ALDI!

What You Need:

1 cup water

10 russet or red skin potatoes

1 teaspoon Stonemill Essentials Iodized Salt

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half

1 1/2 cups Priano Shredded Parmesan Cheese

For the dressing:

1/2 cup Burman’s Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Friendly Farms Sour Cream

1/2 teaspoon Stonemill Essentials Garlic Powder

1 1/4 teaspoon Stonemill Essentials Iodized Salt

1 1/4 teaspoon Stonemill Essentials Ground Black Pepper

2 tablespoons Stonemill Essentials Parsley Flakes

2 tablespoons Reggano Parmesan Cheese

3 tablespoons lemon juice

Zest of 2 lemons









How to Make This:

Place water in your Instant Pot. Put in a trivet and add the potatoes (leave them whole) on top. Lock the lid, set to sealing, and cook on Manual Pressure for 10 minutes. When cooking is complete, perform a Quick Pressure Release on your pot and remove the lid. Allow potatoes to cool and then chop in to bite sized pieces. If you don’t have an Instant Pot: In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes (cut in to 6ths) with water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20-35 until fork tender. Drain water, and reserve potatoes. Fill a medium saucepan 3/4 full with water and add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Add green beans, reduce heat and boil gently for 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain water, and reserve the green beans. Let cool. Combine all dressing ingredients together in a bowl. When potatoes and green beans are fairly cool, toss with the dressing ingredients. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Add Parmesan cheese to salad and toss to coat.
