Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound medium potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Scrub your potatoes and rinse them under cool running water.
  • 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.
  • 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.
