INSTANT POT ROASTED POTATOES
INSTANT POT ROASTED POTATOES
This recipe for “roasted” potatoes in the Instant Pot is now my “go to” side dish recipe. The ingredient list is short, the steps are simple, and the outcome is a huge bowl of the most moist, creamy and delicious potatoes. More on that in a minute.
While you could certainly use just about any kind of potato to cook in your Instant Pot, I find russet potatoes to be the best. They’re very affordable and I almost always have a sack of russet potatoes at home. I love them for many reasons, the most of which is the taste and texture. Russet potatoes naturally have a soft and creamy texture when properly cooked. And when they’re cooked in a pressure cooker, it infuses the flavors of everything, especially the chicken broth we use as the liquid.
The recipe uses 6 medium russet potatoes which should come in right around a pound and a 1/2. If you’re over or under a little, no worries, you can always add or subtract a little of the seasonings depending on taste. But 6 medium sized potatoes is the perfect starting point. Cutting them into wedges is simple… just cut the potatoes in “slices” of about 1/2 inch thick, then quarter those slices. Voilà! You’ve now got perfect potato wedges. Next they will be sauteed in your Instant Pot with a little oil for 6 minutes. This will give the outer layer of the potatoes just a bit extra to hold up under the pressure cooking and help to NOT turn them into mashed potatoes. After sauteeing, mix in all your seasonings, except the fresh parsley, pour in your chicken broth, and set to pressure cook for 6 minutes. Do a QPR (quick pressure release) after the 6 minutes. Remove lid carefully, add fresh parsley and your potatoes are ready to serve! The potatoes in the picture are my Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes recipe. Give those a try too!
