How to Boil Potatoes in Instant Pot

Step 1

Scrub your potatoes and rinse them under cool running water.

Step 2

Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot. You can use any size of Instant Pot, but just don’t fill the pot past the “max” line.

Step 3

Add a cup of water.

Step 4

Then, place your potatoes on top of the trivet.

Step 5

Lock on the lid and set the time to 10 minutes at high pressure. See the notes section below for suggested cook times for other sizes of potatoes.

Step 6

When the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Then, use the quick-release to get rid of any remaining pressure.

Step 8

Remove the lid and use tongs to transfer the boiled potatoes to a serving dish.

Step 9

Serve warm.

Step 10

Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
