Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1 cup cold water

Instructions

  • Scrub skin of potatoes with a brush until clean. Poke with fork 5-8 times.
  • Pour 1 cup of water into the insert of the Instant Pot. Place trivet (the one that comes with the Instant Pot works great) on the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place potatoes on top of the trivet.
  • Secure the lid and turn valve to seal. Set pressure cook time to 12 minutes. Allow pressure to do a natural release, which just means let the pot hang out for a bit while the pressure resides on its own. This usually takes 15-20 minutes.
  • Once the pressure valve lowers, remove lid and serve immediately with desired toppings.

Notes

For large potatoes, increase cooking time to 15 minutes.
