Instant Pot Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium potatoes
  • 1 cup of water
  • optional: cooking spray and sea salt for sprinkling

Tools needed:

  • Steamer Tray (Trivet)
  • Baking Sheet

Directions:

  1. Poke each potato with a fork about 6 times.
  2. Place the trivet into your instant pot and pour in the 1 cup of water.
  3. Place the potatoes on top of the trivet. You can stack them if needed. Put the top on and seal the instant pot.
  4. Turn the steam release knob to the sealing position.
  5. Cook on manual HIGH pressure for 15 minutes (if your potatoes are sightly smaller, go for 13 minutes and if your potatoes are extra large, go for 17 minutes).** When the instant pot is done cooking, let the pressure naturally release which will take about 8-10 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the metal pin has dropped.
  6. Optional step: put the cooked potatoes on a baking sheet, spray with cooking spray, and sprinkle with sea salt. Broil the potatoes for about 3-4 minutes (make sure to watch carefully!) to lightly crispy up the skins.
  7. Cook time can vary depending on the size of your potatoes. If they end up underdone, you can cook the potatoes for an additional few minutes.
