This recipe came from my Grandma. This is my favorite recipe and it's so much easier when I make this with an Instant Pot.
Original Recipe:
10-12 potatoes
1 dozen eggs (I usually do 18)
1/2 red onion
--Boil potatoes whole until fork-tender. Hard boil eggs. Peel potatoes while still warm. Dice potatoes and out in large bowl. Peel eggs and cut up and put in bowl. Add onions. Make sauce and add potato mixture. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sauce: 1 quart mayonnaise, 2-3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar. Mix and add to potatoes.
Instant Pot Adaptation:
I bought two Instant Pots just to make this recipe.
Cook eggs using the 6-6-6 method. Put the desired amount of eggs on trivet and a cup of water in Instant Pot. Start on manual for 6 minutes, NR 6 minutes, then put in ice bath for 6 minutes.
Put potatoes in other instant pot with trivet for 15 minutes, with one cup water, QR.

Cheesy Italian Tortellini
This is a recipe I got from my mom. The ingredients on this one can add up really quickly, but it tastes REALLY good. I use this one sometimes when I want to impress someone.
1/2 lb. ground beef (I use turkey)
1/2 lb. Italian Sausage (I prefer not spicy for this recipe)
1 container (15-oz.) refrigerated marinara sauce* (I prefer Buitoni brand)
1 can (14 1/2-oz.) diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings, undrained**
1 package (9-oz.) refrigerated cheese tortellini (I prefer Buitoni brand to anything else.)
1 cup shredded mozzarella or pizza style cheese (4-oz.)
Break beef and sausage into large pieces in a 10-inch skillet. Cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until brown. Spray inside of 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix beef mixture mixture, marinara sauce, and tomatoes in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 8 hours. Stir in tortellini; sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook on low heat setting about 15 minutes longer or until tortellini is tender.
4-6 servings.
*To make your own marinara sauce: Saute 1-2 garlic cloves, chopped onion and green pepper in olive oil. Add 2 1/2 cups canned tomatoes (or fresh), 1/2 tsp. oregano and 1 Tbsp. chopped parsley. (If using fresh tomatoes add 1/2 tsp. salt.) Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (FOR THE RECORD: I have never made this sauce recipe because I think it sounds gross.)
**A can of plain-diced tomatoes and 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasonings can be used.
