Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 cup of water
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Pierce each potato a few times using the tines of a fork.
- Place a metal trivet at the bottom of the Instant Pot. Pour in the cup of water. Then place the russet potatoes on the trivet. Close the lid placing the valve to"sealing".
- Select "manual" on high pressure for 13 minutes (for small), 15 minutes (for medium) and 18-20 minutes (for large). Once the timer is done let the Instant Pot come down to pressure for 15 minutes. Then, carefully force pressure.
- Using tongs, remove the potatoes out of the Instant Pot. Using a fork, prick open the potato, fluff with the fork tines, top, and enjoy.

Notes
- Try to cook the same size potatoes. This will ensure that all potatoes are cooked through.
- Small Potatoes take about 12 minutes in the Instant Pot, Medium take 14 minutes, and large take about 16-18 minutes.
- Stack the potatoes on top of one another–it will not mess with the cooking time.
- Use a trivet on the bottom of the Instant Pot so they don’t burn/get soggy and/or stick to the bottom.
- No need to wrap the potatoes in foil!
- Save your flavored broth–no difference in flavor for steaming.
