Found this on the forum on rice cookers at HSN.com. You can use the steaming basket at the same time as cooking the potatoes and make hardboiled eggs!

• 2 teaspoons prepared mustard (the bright yellow kind)
• 1 -2 tablespoon pickle relish (do NOT drain before measuring)

Directions:

2. Cut the potatoes in bite size pieces and put in rice cooker with the water.
3. Turn rice cooker on to cook and cook for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork done.

This is the best ever Potato Salad! I added olives and subsituted a chopped pickle for the relish. This was so handy using the rice cooker and saved on clean up time.

This worked awesome! I used my rice cooker on 'steam' setting for 20 minutes. My potatoes and eggs were both cooked perfectly. I used my own recipe for the rest of the salad. I'm so excited to be able to use my rice cooker for potatoes and eggs! Maybe I'll try pasta and eggs in the cooker for my next salad! The only clean up wasp wiping off the cutting board. Amazing!
