Ingredients
- 3 Russet potatoes pricked with a fork
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place the trivet in it.
- Place the potatoes on top of the trivet, close the lid, turn the valve to 'Sealing' and cook potatoes on High Pressure for 12 - 15 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- When the cooking time is over, naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes and quickly release the remaining pressure.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You must use the trivet in your Instant Pot. Don't put the potatoes straight in.
- Prick your potatoes a few times with a fork before cooking them. This allows steam to escape from the potatoes as they cook so they don't burst.
- Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, this will ensure the middles are cooked through.
- The potatoes will be very hot, so use tongs to lift them out of the pressure cooker once they are cooked.
