Ingredients
Scale
- 4–8 potatoes, scrubbed clean
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of room temperature or cold water and the trivet to the Instant Pot. (If you have an 8 quart Instant Pot, add 1 ½ cups water).
- Poke the potatoes at least twice with a fork or a knife to allow steam to escape while cooking.
- Place the potatoes on the trivet, place the lid on the Instant Pot, and set the pressure valve to “sealing.”
- Cook on high pressure for 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of your potato (see my notes below).
- When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally.
Notes
Notes:
The cook time depends on the size of the potato. Use this guide to help determine how long to cook your potato in the Instant Pot:
- Small Potatoes (2” or less in diameter, or 4-5 ounces): 10 minutes cook time
- Medium Potatoes (2-3” in diameter, or 6-7 ounces): 12 minutes cook time
- Large Potato (3-4” in diameter, or 8-10 ounces): 16 minutes cook time
- Extra Large Potato (4-4.5” in diameter, or 11-13 ounces): 20 minutes cook time
