Ingredients
- 4 to 10 potatoes scrubbed (see directions for cook times according to potato size)
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Pour water into the instant pot's steel insert, place the trivet inside and place the potatoes on top of the trivet.
- Secure the lid and close the pressure valve.
- The cook time will vary according to the size of the potatoes. - Baby/Bite-sized potatoes (1 to 2 ounces), cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. - Small potatoes (3 to 5 ounces), cook at high pressure for 8 minutes. - Medium potatoes (6 to 8 ounces), cook at high pressure for 10 minutes. - Large potatoes (9-12 ounces), cook at high pressure for 12 minutes.
- Naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then open the valve to release any remaining pressure.
Notes
- I have used this recipe to cook as many as 10 potatoes at once. The number doesn't seem to matter, as long as they all fit.
- Cook time varies according to the size of the potato. Please see step 3.
- For a potato that weighs more than 12 ounces, try adding 1 minute per additional ounce.
- This recipe (like all of my recipes) is tested using a 6 qt instant pot - if you're using a larger pot, you may need to add more water.
- If you want to use a steamer rather than a trivet, try to use a stainless steel steamer. In my experience, silicone steamers tend to cause a burn error whereas stainless steel steamers do not. If you are using a silicone steamer, please add an additional ½ to 1 cup of water to the pot.
