Notes
- Seasonings. We love red potatoes in the instant pot with some parsley. You can swap this for any mixed herbs or why not make it with Italian seasoning.
- Baby – If using baby red potatoes instead of whole, then follow this red potatoes recipe and instead don’t quarter them and cook them whole.
