👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Instant Pot Method: ---
2. 2Firstly rinse and clean the potatoes under the running water. You may also use a vegetable scrub brush to remove the dirt.
3. 3Next, add water to the instant pot insert. Place the trivet and then arrange the whole potatoes (or diced potatoes). Note: I have used extra-large Russet Potatoes (9 oz each) here.
4. 4Close the lid securely, and turn the vent to "SEALING". Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL (High Pressure) setting and the cook time will vary according to the size of the potatoes.Diced Potatoes (1 inch), cook at high pressure for 3 minutes.Small/Baby Potatoes (1-1.5 inches), cook at high pressure for 5 minutes.Medium Potatoes (2-2.5 inches), cook at high pressure for 6 minutes.Large Potatoes (4-5.5 inches), cook at high pressure for 10-12 minutes.Extra-Large potatoes (6-8 inches), cook at high pressure for 12-14 minutes.
5. 5Once the instant pot beeps, Wait for Natural Pressure Release, and then open the lid. Check the doneness of potatoes by inserting a knife or fork in the center.
6. 6Peel the skin and use it right away or store it without peeling in the refrigerator for later use.Note: These times mentioned will result in perfectly cooked/boiled potatoes. If you want the potatoes more soft and mushy, add two more minutes of pressure cooking.
