What is an Instant Pot®?

An Instant Pot is a kitchen appliance that functions as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and steamer. It is an electric pressure cooker, used for pressure cooking, which means it cooks food under high pressure, significantly reducing the cooking time.

It has a number of preset cooking programs, as well as the ability to be programmed manually. It’s so versatile it will quickly become one of your most useful kitchen appliances!

Ingredients

  • 1½ lbs. Honey Gold baby potatoes, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced, or garlic powder
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup water, or broth
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted melted butter
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Optional: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve

Substitutions

  • The potatoes used for this recipe are Honey Gold potatoes. If you can’t find them in your local grocery store, you can substitute other yellow potatoes such as Yukon Gold potatoes, finger potatoes, or russet potatoes. Sweet potatoes work too, if that’s what you prefer! Small potatoes are best, so if using larger potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces rather than in half.
  • Substitute the water with chicken broth or vegetable broth for more intense flavor.

Equipment

  • Instant pot
  • cutting board and knife

Instructions

  1. Add the potatoes to the Instant Pot® and sprinkle with the garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. 
  2. Pour water or broth into the unit and cover. Lock the lid into place and flip the pressure valve to “Sealing.” Select the “Manual” setting on high and adjust the cook time to 2 minutes.
  3. Allow pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes when the cook time is complete. Then do a quick release for any remaining pressure. Once the pin drops and no more steam is coming out, carefully remove the lid and set aside. 
  1. Turn the unit off and drain the potatoes completely. Return the potatoes to unit and add melted butter and parsley. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired, and toss to combine.
  2. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and top with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
