Description

These Instant Pot Baked Potatoes are fluffy on the inside with perfectly crispy skins, made quickly and easily in the pressure cooker followed by a quick broil or air fry.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place a trivet inside.
  2. Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork and place them on the trivet.
  3. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 12-20 minutes (12 mins for small potatoes, 20 mins for large ones).
  4. Once cooking is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
  5. Remove potatoes and pat dry if needed. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  6. Place under a broiler for 5-10 minutes, turning once, or air fry at 400°F for 5-8 minutes to crisp the skins.
  7. Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Cooking time varies depending on the size of the potatoes.
  • Ensure potatoes are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  • You can skip crisping if you prefer soft skins.
  • Great topped with butter, sour cream, cheese, or chives.
