Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large potatoes or any potato size about 1kg (2.1lb)
  • 1 cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Wash the potatoes clean
  • Pierce the potatoes with fork or knife number of times, this is to prevent pressure building in the potatoes which might lead to them exploding whilst cooking.
  • 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.

Notes

Pro Tips
  • Use instant pot crisp lid instead of the oven, one pan, fewer dishes to wash
  • Keep the potatoes the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Let the size of the potatoes guide you for how long to cook them for. Baby potatoes would cook between 8 to 10 minutes at high pressure. Medium size potatoes for 12 to 15 minutes at high pressure while large potatoes can be from 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size.
