Ingredients

6 medium potatoes scrubbed clean

Instructions

Place 1 cup cold water in the inner pot of pressure cooker pan and place trivet in instant pot. Note: Use 1.5 cups of cold water in an 8-quart Instant Pot.
Scrub potatoes well and then pierce potatoes 5-6 times with a fork to allow pressure to release while cooking.
Add potatoes carefully on trivet (stacking on top of each other if needed). Place lid on instant pot and seal the valve.
Hit the manual or pressure cook button and be sure HIGH pressure is selected. Adjust cook time to 12 minutes for medium potatoes, 16 for average/larger potatoes, and 22 minutes for really large potatoes. See notes on sizes.
Once cook time has elapsed, allow pressure to naturally release for at least 10 minutes before doing a quick release of pressure. Remove potatoes from Instant Pot and serve up with whatever toppings you like.

Equipment Needed

Electric Pressure Cooker (6 or 8 quart)

Notes
Time to get to pressure: 5-6 minutes
Time to cook: 12 minutes
Time to release pressure: 10 minutes

10 minutes for small potatoes (less than 2 inches in diameter or 4-5 ounces)
12 minutes for medium potatoes (between 2-3 inches in diameter or 5-7 ounces)
16 minutes for large potatoes (between 3-4 inches in diameter or 8-10 ounces)
20 minutes for extra large potatoes (4-4.5 inches in diameter or 11-13 ounces)

If cooking at higher elevation, be sure to refer to Instant Pot Altitude Adjustments.
This is one recipe that works best when using at least 4 potatoes for a 6 or 8 quart. You can certainly prepare less than 4 potatoes, but I would add 5 minutes cook time.
