Instant Pot Baked Potatoes (Fast & Easy)

Fluffy Instant Pot baked potatoes are so easy and faster than the oven! These are perfect for meal prep or a quick dinner side.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 5 medium Potatoes ((I used Russet))
• Sea salt ((to taste))
• Black pepper ((to taste))
• Butter
• Sour cream
• Chives
• Cheddar cheese ((shredded))
• Cooked bacon ((crumbled))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add the water.
2. 2Use a fork to poke holes all over the potatoes. (This will prevent them from exploding while cooking.)
3. 3Place the potatoes on top of the trivet.
4. 4Place the lid on the Instant pot and make sure the knob is set to sealed.
5. 5Select Manual, then High pressure and set the time for 14 minutes. When the timer goes off, use the natural pressure release (this took 6 minutes for my 6-quart Instant Pot).
6. 6Carefully remove the lid of the Instant Pot. Use tongs to remove the potatoes from the Instant Pot and transfer to a plate.
7. 7Slice the potatoes down the middle and fluff the insides. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. 8If desired, add your favorite toppings: butter, sour cream, chives, cheddar cheese, and/or cooked bacon.
