Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Trivet or steamer basket

Ingredients

  • 5 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Scrub skin of potatoes with a brush until they are clean. Stab with fork 5-8 times. Don't wrap them in foil!
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the insert of the Instant Pot. Place steamer basket (or the trivet - the one that comes with the Instant Pot works great) in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place potatoes on top of/inside steamer basket.
  • Secure the lid and turn the knob to sealing.
  • Use the manual mode or pressure cook button on Instant Pot and set to 12 minutes.
  • Allow pressure to “release naturally” – takes 15-20 minutes.
  • Once it is done releasing the pressure, remove the lid and serve immediately with desired toppings. You can also store in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

Notes

  • If you like to meal prep, then these potatoes are perfect for you. They last 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator in sealed  container.
