Instant pot Baked Potatoes
Description
Instant pot Baked Potatoes shows how to quickly prepare baked potatoes using pressure cooking instead of traditional oven baking. Potatoes are washed and pierced multiple times with a fork to vent steam. They are then arranged on the trivet inside the Instant Pot over one cup of water.
The Instant Pot is sealed and set to high pressure for 14 to 16 minutes depending on potato size. After cooking, the pressure is allowed to release naturally. This technique cooks the potatoes evenly and thoroughly, producing tender flesh suitable for typical baked potato toppings.
This method speeds up the baking process substantially and can be used for regular or sweet potatoes, or both combined. Served with butter, sour cream, cheese, or any favorite toppings, these potatoes work well as a side dish or base for hearty meals.
The recipe notes that you can adjust cooking time slightly for larger potatoes and stack them in the pot if needed. Care should be taken when removing hot potatoes after cooking.
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes washed, medium size
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of water into the insert of the instant pot. Then place the trivet that came with the instant pot on the bottom of the insert as well.
- Stab each potato 5-6 times with a fork to allow pressure to release while cooking.
- Place the potatoes in the instant pot. You can stack them as well if needed.
- Seal the instant pot. Choose the high pressure cook option on the instant pot and select from 14-16 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes (if your potatoes are larger than you'll want to use the longer time).
- After the cook time is done, allow the pressure to release naturally from the instant pot.
- Remove the potatoes from instant pot (carefully as they will be hot). Top with your favoriting toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- The method works for sweet potatoes or a combination of regular and sweet potatoes.
- Adjust cooking time from 14 to 16 minutes based on potato size for even doneness.
- Stack potatoes in the Instant Pot if necessary to fit them all in.
