Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes
Description
Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes start by piercing each baby gold potato and pressure cooking them with garlic cloves in chicken broth for around 11 minutes, ensuring tenderness throughout. After quick releasing the pressure and draining, the potatoes are patted dry.
Then, using the sauté function, the potatoes are crisped in vegetable oil with a carefully balanced herb blend including rosemary, oregano, thyme, sage, nutmeg, and black pepper. They are browned on all sides using tongs for turning, producing a flavorful and textured exterior while retaining softness inside.
This technique provides roasted-style potatoes faster than oven roasting. Baby gold potatoes are preferred for their waxy texture that crisps well while remaining creamy inside. The potatoes can be served as a side to various main dishes.
Using the right size of baby gold potatoes ensures even cooking and browning. Additional oil can be added as needed during sautéing to achieve the preferred crust.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. baby gold potatoes scrubbed clean
- 3 garlic peeled, cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2-3 Tablespoons vegetable oil plus more if needed
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Potato Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- ¾ teaspoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoon thyme
- ¾ teaspoon sage
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pierce each potato with a fork and place in the Instant Pot along with the garlic and chicken stock. Secure the lid and ensure that the steam valve is shut. Pressure Cook for 11 minutes.
- Quick release the steam valve and open the lid. Drain out the chicken broth and pat the potatoes dry.
- Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode. Add 1-3 Tablespoons of vegetable oil, along with the potato seasonings.
- Leave the potatoes in place for 5 minutes or so to allow the first side to brown. Use kitchen tongs to carefully rotate them until each side is browned and crisp. Add more vegetable oil if necessary. Remove them from the pot and serve!
Notes
- Yukon gold or baby gold potatoes are preferred for their texture and size.
- Adjust oil amount during sautéing to ensure even browning without burning.
- The potatoes can be cooked in full 2-lb batches or slightly fewer, based on bag size.
