Ingredients
- 4-6 medium russet potatoes
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes. Prick each potato with a fork a couple times to allow the steam to escape when pressure cooking.
- Pour water into the Instant Pot and place trivet, steamer basket, or foil balls in the bottom. Place clean potatoes on top, stacking if necessary.
- Secure the lid in place and make sure the valve is set to SEALING.
- Set to HIGH PRESSURE and add cook time (see below).
- Small potatoes: Pressure cook for 10-12 minutes. Medium potatoes: Pressure cook for 14-16 minutes. Large potatoes (like you find at Costco): Pressure cook for 18-20 minutes.
- When cook time ends, allow pot to naturally release pressure for 8-10 minutes. Do a quick release and remove potatoes with tongs.

Notes
- Scrub your potatoes clean
- Size matters...find potatoes equal in size for best results
- Use a trivet so the potatoes aren't sitting in water
- Err on the side of the larger potato, it's better to cook the potato more than less time!
