How to cook deliciously - How To Cook Potatoes in the Instant Pot
1. Stage
Prepare the potatoes for cooking: Chop the potatoes into 1 ½-inch pieces. Pour the water into the inner pot of the pressure cooker. Put the potatoes in the steamer basket, then lower it into the pot.
2. Stage
Pressure cook the potatoes: Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure it’s set to its “sealing” position. Select the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” setting, and set the cooking time to 3 minutes at high pressure. If your pot features an automated pressure release, set it for a quick release. (The pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.)
3. Stage
"Quick release" the pressure: When the cooking program finishes, perform a quick pressure release by moving the pressure vent to its “venting” position or by pressing the pressure release button (depending on your Instant Pot model).
4. Stage
Remove the potatoes and check for doneness: When the pressure has fully released, open the pot. Use a pair of heat-safe mitts to remove the steamer basket of potatoes. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender. If not using the potatoes right away, let them cool completely and then, refrigerate in a covered container. Potatoes will keep for about 1 week.
