Step 1

Prepare the potatoes for cooking: Pour the water into the inner pot of the pressure cooker. Put the potatoes in the steamer basket, then lower it into the pot.

Step 2

Pressure cook the potatoes: Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure it’s set to its “sealing” position. Select the “Steam” or “Manual” setting, and set the cooking time to 3 minutes at high pressure. (The pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.)

Step 3

"Quick release" the pressure: When the cooking program finishes, perform a quick pressure release by moving the pressure vent to its “venting” position.

Step 4

Remove the potatoes from the pot: When the pressure has fully released, open the pot. Use a pair of heat-safe mitts to remove the steamer basket of potatoes.If not using the potatoes right away, let them cool completely and then refrigerate in a covered container. Potatoes will keep for about a week.
