Notes
- For small potatoes that are about 10 ounces, I recommend 15 minutes high pressure plus 20 a minute natural release.
- For medium potatoes that are about 14 ounces, I recommend 20 minutes high pressure plus 20 a minute natural release.
- For large potatoes that are about 20 ounces, I recommend 25 minutes high pressure plus a 20 minute natural release.
