Step 1

Pour 1/2 cup water in the Instant Pot. Place potatoes in a steamer basket and carefully lower it into the pot.

Step 2

Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.

Step 3

Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.

Step 4

When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Rinse and dry the pot liner and return to Instant Pot.

Step 6

Add the oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select CANCEL to turn the pot off, then choose the SAUTE function and adjust to the high setting.

Step 7

When oil gets hot, brown the potatoes until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Generously salt and pepper the potatoes while they cook.

Step 8

When all potatoes are browned, return them to the still-hot pot, sprinkle with herbs and squeeze lemon over the top. Cook, tossing, for 1 minute and serve immediately.
