POTATOES BAKED IN A MOMENT
Making fluffy, fork-tender baked potatoes in your electric pressure cooker is easy with nt Pot Baked Potatoes. Although baked potatoes are the ideal side dish, baking them in the oven might take a very long time. The ideal time-saving method is to prepare them in your Instant Pot.
For fork-tender potatoes,
simply set the Instant Pot for a 15-minute cook time followed by a 15-minute
natural release. If you prefer potatoes with crispy skin, you may also rub them
with olive oil and bake them.
Bonus: You can always create
potato soup with leftover baked potatoes!

Russet potatoes come in a
wide range of sizes, from 7 ounces (small) to 1 pound (large).
In order to get a
decent-sized potato and have room for 4-6 in the Instant Pot, I advise using
medium-sized potatoes, which weigh between 9 and 12 ounces.
INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES:
HOW TO DO IT
Scrub and/or clean your
potatoes completely. Russet potatoes frequently have a layer of dirt on the
outside; if you wish to eat the skin, you need to remove the dirt.
To release steam while they
cook, poke your potatoes 8–10 times with a knife or fork.
Fill the Instant Pot's bottom
with 1 cup of water. Put your pot's bottom on the metal trivet.
Now add four to six potatoes
to the saucepan. Potato layering is OK. The "fill" line that is
indicated on the inside of your pot should not be exceeded, though.
Put the pot's lid on, shut
the pressure valve, and program the timing to the times listed below, based on
the size of the potatoes:
