For potato salad, breakfast skillets, and roasted potatoes, put your Instant Pot to work.
I dont always prep or cook in advance, but boy am I glad when I do.
Its so nice to launch the fridge and find things that are easily assembled into a quick meal.

Why Make Potatoes in the Instant Pot?
So I know when my food is ready.
I actually keep myInstant Poton the counter at all times because I use it nearly every day!
Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
If you’re using a stovetop model, use the same cook time (3 minutes).
Instant Pot Models
This recipe will work as written with all six and eight-quart models.
This is because the three-quart cooker isn’t as powerful as the bigger models and uses a lower PSI.

This safety mechanism is designed to help prevent dangerous splatters, but can sometimes be triggered erroneously.
If your pot won’t release the pressure, don’t panic.
Your potatoes will still be nicely cooked, just let the pressure naturally release.
Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
confirm the basket will completely fit inside the pot without obstructing the lid.
Many old-school folding metal baskets work wonderfully, too.
Roast at 425F until browned and crispy on the outside.

Tip:
verify your potatoes are the right size.
Otherwise, they wont cook properly.
Dont be afraid to grab a ruler to check your measurements.
Coco Morante
Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and ensure its set to its sealing position.
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.)

When the pressure has fully released, kick off 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 the potatoes arent quite done, lock the lid back on.
Program to cook at high pressure 2 to 3 minutes longer, depending on how hard your potatoes are.
Then, let the pressure release naturally if you want the potatoes to cook longer.

Alternately, do a quick release after cooking, before opening the lid.
Potatoes will keep for about 1 week in the fridge.
