  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add water to a 6-qt Instant Pot®. Place metal trivet into the pot.
  2. Pierce potatoes with a fork; place potatoes on top of the trivet. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 14 minutes. When finished cooking, naturally release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions, about 20-30 minutes.
  3. When cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise; top with butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes

  • *A medium-size potato weighs about 5.3 ounces, about the size of a computer mouse.
