Baked Potatoes in 25 Minutes with Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • Large russet potatoes, one per serving. Russet potato is also called baking potato, rich with starch.
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Shredded cheese, sour cream or your favorite topping.

Preparation

Step 1

Brush-clean the potato thoroughly. Some people like the potato skin. Put the potato in a ceramic or steel bowl.
2.Put two cups of water in the inner pot
3.Place the bowl on top of the steam rack (included in the Instant Pot package).
4.Choose the “Steam” program with 12 minutes time, or 15 minutes if the potatoes are over a pound each.
5.When the “Steam” program finishes, release the steam. Take the potatoes out.
6.Poke holes on the potatoes with a fork or chopstick. Lightly coat each potato with olive oil (optional).
7.Put the whole potato, or split with salt and topping, on a grill for 5 minute for the crisp/dry skin effect. I use a small toast oven at toast mode.
