Ingredients

For the Potatoes

4 medium-sized russet potatoes
1 cup water
to taste Salt
to taste Pepper
as needed Olive oil or butter For drizzling after cooking

Instructions

Preparation

Begin by giving your russet potatoes a good scrub under running water. Poke each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.

Cooking

Pour one cup of water into your Instant Pot and place the trivet inside.
Arrange the potatoes on the trivet, ensuring they aren’t stacked. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to cook on high pressure for 12 minutes.
When the cooking time is up, perform a quick release to let out the steam. Carefully remove the lid.
Let them cool slightly, then drizzle with olive oil or a dab of butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and enjoy them as is, or get creative with toppings!

Notes

For extra crispy skin, throw the cooked potatoes in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes at 400°F after they come out of the Instant Pot. Try toppings like sour cream, cheese, chives, or chili for a heartier meal. Leftover potatoes are great sliced and pan-fried for breakfast!
