Instant Pot Baked Potatoes

Step 1

Scrub the potatoes. Prick each potato with a fork a couple times to allow the steam to escape when pressure cooking.

Step 2

Pour water into the Instant Pot and place trivet, steamer basket, or foil balls in the bottom. Place clean potatoes on top, stacking if necessary.

Step 3

Secure the lid in place and make sure the valve is set to SEALING.

Step 4

Set to HIGH PRESSURE and add cook time (see below).

Step 5

Small potatoes: Pressure cook for 10-12 minutes. Medium potatoes: Pressure cook for 14-16 minutes. Large potatoes (like you find at Costco): Pressure cook for 18-20 minutes.

Step 6

Typically in my grocery store the potatoes are of small-medium size

Step 7

When cook time ends, allow pot to naturally release pressure for 8-10 minutes. Do a quick release and remove potatoes with tongs.
