Instant Pot Potatoes
Potatoes cook fast in an Instant Pot. This creamy Instant Pot potatoes recipe is a perfect side dish.

Potatoes In Instant Pot
How to cook potatoes in Instant Pot? How long to cook potatoes in Instant Pot?
These are the most common questions about cooking potatoes using an Instant Pot pressure cooker.
To create enough steam to pressure cook potatoes, you need liquid.
For this recipe, I used chicken broth as the liquid. The cooking time is 10 minutes, with 2 minutes on Saute Mode and 8 minutes on Manual High Pressure mode.
How To Make Instant Pot Potatoes
First, saute the potatoes until they turn crispy, then pressure cook on high in the Instant Pot with chicken broth.
I seasoned the potatoes with garlic, thyme, oregano, Italian Parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and lemon juice.
I finished the dish by adding whipping cream.
This recipe cuts the total cooking time to half as there is no need to use the skillet or the oven to roast the potatoes.
All in all though, I find Instant Pot to be a superior kitchen utensil to cook potatoes.
It’s so much easier and quicker to cook. In just 10 minutes, you’ll have potatoes with a soft and moist center and crispy exterior.

How to cook if using normal gas stove????
Just follow the steps and use gas stove instead of Instant Pot.
Garlic or garlic powder?
Garlic, as stated in the recipe!
The directions say both garlic and garlic powder
It was a typo.
Hello,
Your recipe for creamy potatoes is very poorly edited. You have duplication of ingredients and are missing some of the ingredients called for in the Method.

Hi Karen, glad that you liked this Instant Pot Creamy Potatoes recipe.
I followed the recipe to the T and my instapot kept saying BURN during the manual pressure part. Any suggestions?
Hi Brianne, that’s very strange. Did you use a 6 quart? Increase the chicken broth to 1/2 cup? Or make sure you have nothing stick to the bottom of the pot.
It would be amazing if you HADN’T gotten a BURN message.
