Baked Potatoes in Instant Pot are so much faster and easier than baking your potatoes in the oven! You will never go back to your tin foil potatoes, once you make our Instant Pot baked potatoes.
INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES
A baked potato is the perfect side dish with just about any family meal, but can take a long time to cook. When baking potatoes in the oven, they need to be cooked for up to an hour. These baked potatoes take about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the potato! Instant Pot Baked Potatoes come out perfectly done and full of flavor every single time!TIPS FOR INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES
- Be sure to get potatoes that are the same size. They will cook unevenly if you have different sizes.
- Be sure to use COLD water, as using warm water will change how the time the Instant Pot takes to get to pressure, which will change cook times and your results.
- Be sure to poke holes into your potatoes with a knife or fork to allow steam and pressure to exit or your potatoes could explode while cooking.
- Use the trivet to help prevent the potatoes from getting watery.
- Add water to bottom of Instant Pot, that moisture allows the pressure to build up in your instant pot.
- Make sure your potatoes are resting on rack and not touching the water.
- For reason cooking less than 4 potatoes in a 6 or 8 quart instant pot takes LONGER to cook. You can easily cook 1-2 potatoes in the mini pressure cooker.
HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT POTATOES
- Pour 1 cup cold water over the bottom of the pot, and then place your steamer rack in your instant pot.
- Place anywhere from 6-8 scrubbed potatoes into your Instant Pot.
- Secure the lid, Turn valve to seal, Cook on Manual Pressure.
- Set to high pressure and cook: 10 minutes for small potatoes, 12 minutes for medium potatoes, 20 minutes for extra large potatoes.
- Allow pressure to release naturally for 8-10 minutes and then turn valve to release, this releases any remaining pressure.
