The Best Way to make baked potatoes in the instant pot
Hey there! Making baked potatoes in the Instant Pot is super easy and way faster than using the oven. Here's how to do it:
What You'll Need:
- Russet potatoes (as many as you want!)
- 1 cup water
- Salt (optional)
- Your favorite toppings
Steps:
- Wash your potatoes really well
- Poke holes in them with a fork (about 8-10 holes per potato)
- Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot
- Put the trivet (the metal rack thing) in the pot
- Place potatoes on the trivet
- Close lid and set valve to 'sealing'
- Cook on high pressure for:
- 12 mins for small potatoes
- 15 mins for medium potatoes
- 18 mins for large potatoes - Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release
That's it! They'll come out perfectly fluffy inside. 🎉
