The Best Way to steam potatoes in the instant pot
Hey there! Want to make super easy steamed potatoes? Here's the simplest way to do it in your Instant Pot:
- Wash your potatoes and cut them into chunks about 1-2 inches big (like the size of a golf ball)
- Pour 1 cup of water into your Instant Pot
- Put the steamer basket or trivet inside
- Place your potato chunks in the basket
- Close the lid and set valve to 'sealing'
- Press 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' (depending on your model) and set for:
- Small chunks (1 inch): 4 minutes
- Medium chunks (2 inches): 6 minutes
- Whole small potatoes: 10 minutes
- When done, quick release the pressure
That's it! Your potatoes should be perfectly tender when poked with a fork. 😊
Pro Tips:
- Try to cut pieces the same size so they cook evenly
- Season after cooking for best results
- Don't fill pot more than halfway with potatoes
