Instructions
Wash the potatoes clean

Place trivet in the inner pot of your IP then add a cup of water to the pan. Arrange the potatoes on the trivet, you don’t need to wrap them in a foil as this would add more cooking time to this recipe.
Lock the IP securely and turn valve to sealing position, select manual or high pressure and time for 16 minutes. The timing may change depending on the size of the potatoes you use. When the spud is done cooking, leave to natural pressure release for 10 minutes then carefully do a quick pressure release.
Open the lid and use a thong to remove the potatoes from the pressure cooker. Cut the potatoes lengthwise and serve with any toppings and fillings of choice.
For crispy skin: transfer the potatoes to an oiled oven tray, spray with more oil and place in the oven at 220C/420F for 5 to 10 minutes.
