Description
Delicious and perfectly cooked pressure cooker potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 medium potatoes (we used brown Idaho potatoes)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Wash and then pierce potatoes with a fork all the way around each potato. Rub salt on the outside of the skins.
- Put a trivet inside your pressure cooker with 1 cup water, make sure water doesn’t touch trivet itself (don’t want potatoes touching water).
- Place 4-5 potatoes inside your pressure cooker.
- Close lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 15 minutes. (Note, time will vary according to how large your potatoes are but I have found for medium size baking potatoes 15 minutes gets the middle done and insides tender).
- Allow to naturally release pressure for at least 5 minutes, release rest of pressure. Use a fork to pierce to ensure middle of potato is done. If not, put back and set for additional 5 minutes if needed.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust cooking time depending on the size of potatoes.
- Natural pressure release helps keep the potatoes tender.
