Fluffy and Creamy best describes Instant Pot Baked Potatoes. In a matter of minutes you can have this easy, fool proof potato ready and on your plate!

Ingredients

4-6 medium russet potatoes
1 cup water

Instructions

Scrub the potatoes. Prick each potato with a fork a couple times to allow the steam to escape when pressure cooking.
Pour water into the Instant Pot and place trivet, steamer basket, or foil balls in the bottom. Place clean potatoes on top, stacking if necessary.
Secure the lid in place and make sure the valve is set to SEALING.
Set to HIGH PRESSURE and add cook time (see below).
Small potatoes: Pressure cook for 10-12 minutes. Medium potatoes: Pressure cook for 14-16 minutes. Large potatoes (like you find at Costco): Pressure cook for 18-20 minutes.
When cook time ends, allow pot to naturally release pressure for 8-10 minutes. Do a quick release and remove potatoes with tongs.

Notes

Scrub your potatoes clean

Size matters...find potatoes equal in size for best results

Use a trivet so the potatoes aren't sitting in water

Err on the side of the larger potato, it's better to cook the potato more than less time!
