Ingredients
  

  • 2 beets medium
  • 3 lbs yellow potatoes
  • 6 eggs large
  • 1 shallot chopped finely
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • ¾ cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup pickled vegetables chopped
  • 1 ½ cups mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Trim all but 1" of the leaf stalks from the beets and add to the boiling water. When the water returns to a boil, cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until a sharp knife goes through all the way without resistance. Peel under cold running water (the skin should slide right off) and cut into ½" cubes. Place in a large mixing bowl.
  • While the beets cook, peel the potatoes and cut into ½" cubes. Add 1 ½ cups water to your Instant Pot. Add a rack and steamer basket. Place cubed potatoes into the steamer basket and nestle the six eggs on top. Secure lid and pressure cook for 4 minutes with quick release.
  • Carefully remove the eggs and cool in ice water. Peel and chop the eggs. Place chopped eggs and potatoes into the bowl with the beets.
  • Add shallot, celery, frozen peas, pickled vegetables, mayonnaise, and dill to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and and stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  • Chill overnight and serve cold the next day.
