I’ve made Cajun-style boiled peanuts countless times but wanted something different. Spotting a bag of salt and vinegar chips, I thought—why not? Instant Pot® boiled peanuts are a breeze.

Directions

Whisk vinegar, water, and salt in a large bowl. Add peanuts and stir to coat. Transfer mixture to a gallon-sized plastic zip-top bag and let sit for 8 hours or overnight.
