Ingredients
  

  • 5 yukon gold potatoes (medium sized)
  • 2 cups water

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

Prep
  1. Rinse the potatoes well with water a few times.
Cook
  1. Add 2 cups water in the instant pot
  2. Place the trivet and place the potatoes on it.
  3. Secure the lid on the pot. Select manual and cook at high pressure for 6-8-12 minutes depending on the size small- medium- large. I have cooked them for 8 minutes since mine were medium sized. When cooking is complete, use natural pressure release to depressurize. It should take about 7 minutes for the pressure to release if you are cooking for 8 minutes.
  4. Check if the potatoes by inserting a knife in one potato. Remove the potatoes using tongs.
  5. Peel the skin and chop if you intend on using it right away. You can also refrigerate it for later use.
