How Long Cook Potatoes for Potato Salad

Introduction

The most important part of making a great potato salad is the potatoes. That’s why I use small red potatoes, which have a more evenly creamy texture than bigger varieties. They’re also delicious with all the other ingredients in this recipe: mayonnaise, celery salt, and onions. With these four simple steps, you’ll be enjoying your own homemade potato salad in no time at all!

Layer the potatoes into the slow cooker or pot

To cook potatoes in a slow cooker, layer them into the slow cooker. To do this, start by putting down a layer of sliced onion and then drizzle with olive oil or melted butter. Place another layer of potato slices on top, followed by more onion and any other toppings you’d like (like bacon bits or cheese). Repeat until all ingredients are used up–it’s okay if there isn’t enough room for an entire batch at once!

If you’re using an oven-safe pot instead of a slow cooker, simply follow these steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
  • Drizzle olive oil over each layer of vegetables before adding another one; this will help them brown nicely while roasting in the oven later on!

Cover and cook on high heat for 8 hours

Stir in mayonnaise, onions, and celery salt

Stir in mayonnaise, onions and celery salt.

Add the potatoes to your salad bowl and mix well with a fork or wooden spoon until they’re evenly coated with dressing.

Cover and cook for about 1 hour more

You should cover your pot and cook for about 1 hour more, or until the potatoes are tender. How long you need to cook your potatoes depends on their size and how many you’re cooking, but check them after about 30 minutes of cooking time and every 15 minutes thereafter until they’re done (test with a fork). When they’re ready, they should be soft in the middle and tender enough that you can easily pierce them with a fork without breaking through.

If you don’t have a slow cooker, no worries! You can make this on the stovetop and it will work just fine. It’s not a soup or casserole (though if you want to turn it into one after everything is cooked, go right ahead).
