Steps:
- Scrub your potatoes and rinse them under cool running water.

- Add a cup of water.
- Then, place your potatoes on top of the trivet.
- 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.
- When the cooking time is up, let the pressure come down naturally for about 10 minutes.
- Then, use the quick-release to get rid of any remaining pressure.
- Remove the lid and use tongs to transfer the boiled potatoes to a serving dish.
- Serve warm.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
