- INGREDIENTS -

1 cup cold water

4-10 medium-sized potatoes, scrubbed (I used russet)

- DIRECTIONS -

1. Pour the cold water into the bottom of the Instant Pot and place the trivet on top of the water.

2. Prick each potato 5-6 times and then place them into the Instant Pot.

3. Close the lid and set the valve to sealing.

4. Cook the potatoes on high pressure for 12 minutes*.

5. After the 12 minutes is up, let the pressure naturally release for 8-10 minutes.

6. Release the rest of the pressure manually.

7. Open up your Instant Pot and the taters should be perfectly done. Enjoy!

*the cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potatoes

*for small potatoes, cook for 10 minutes

*for extra large potatoes, cook for 18-20 minutes

NOTE: If you like your baked potatoes extra crispy on the outside: Preheat your oven to 400F. Once the potatoes are done in the Instant Pot, rub them with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and bake them for 10 minutes. Boom. Crispy-ass baked potatoes!

Love you guys!!! ❤️
