Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by pressure cooking baby potatoes in the Instant Pot with water and steam to soften them evenly. After quick releasing the pressure, the potatoes are removed and the pot dried. Then using the sauté function, butter and olive oil are heated together before returning the potatoes to coat them while sprinkling garlic and onion powders. Stirring gently helps integrate the seasonings and allows the potatoes to develop a slight sautéed coating.
The result is tender, creamy potatoes with a mild savory taste from the powders and richness from butter, providing a roasted-style flavor achieved indirectly through sautéing. The method is time-efficient and ensures evenly cooked potatoes that would otherwise take longer in an oven.
These potatoes can complement main dishes for dinner or serve as a side for casual meals. Adjust the seasoning to taste, and cooking times can be tweaked based on desired softness.

Ingredients
- 1.5 pound (680g) baby potato
- 1 teaspoon (4g) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (4g) garlic powder
- 3 - 4 pinches kosher salt coarse
- 2 tablespoons (28g) butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- 1 cup (250ml) water cold
Instructions
- Pressure Cook Baby Potatoes: Pour 1 cup (250ml) cold water, then place a stainless steel steamer basket in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Place 1.5 lb (680g) baby potatoes in steamer basket. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 15 minutes, then Quick Release. *Pro Tip: This will produce creamy & soft baby potatoes. If you prefer a firmer texture, reduce the pressure cooking time by a few minutes. (See Our Roasted Potatoes Experiment Results Here)
- Make Creamy Roasted Potatoes: Set aside the pressure cooked baby potatoes. Discard water in inner pot & towel dry inner pot. Heat up Instant Pot using "Saute" function (press "Cancel" button, then "Saute" button). Once the indicator says HOT, add 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter and 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil in Instant Pot. Add pressure cooked baby potatoes in Instant Pot. With a wooden spoon, gently stir the baby potatoes to coat them with butter. Sprinkle 1 tsp (4g) garlic powder and 1 tsp (4g) onion powder on the baby potatoes. Gentle mix the baby potatoes, then allow the powder to darken & harden a little. Taste & season Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes with salt and black pepper (if desired). For reference, we used roughly 4 pinches of coarse kosher salt.
- Serve Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes: The Roasted Potatoes in Instant Pot will be piping hot, so let it cool for roughly 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!~ :)
