How to make Instant Pot Baby Potatoes?

Now we all know that steaming or cooking potatoes is no rocket science. Every household makes potatoes all around the world. While I write this, I bet there are people already making some now. 

Since the use of potatoes is so versatile, I always keep a stash of steamed potatoes in my refrigerator. Makes my life easier on busy days.

Can I cook any kind of potatoes in Instant Pot?

Absolutely yes. You can steam and cook any kind of potatoes in your IP. I use my IP to make all kind of curries that use potatoes in it like this Aloo Matar Curry and Aloo Baingan Curry.

The size of the potato can affect the time of cooking in IP, but yes you can do it. My choice of potatoes is Yukon Gold for larger potatoes. Though I have cooked Russett also in IP and they come out great too.

Why should I cook Baby Potatoes in Instant Pot?

I love cooking these in IP. The reasons are simple –

• Mess-Free Cooking. I use steamer basket to boil/steam/cook these potatoes. They get cooked as well as they come out dry.
• It is a dump and cook recipe. Yes, it is that simple. Just place in IP. Press the button and forget.
• Once these are steamed/cooked, these can be further seasoned to your liking. I have seasoned them with Fiesta Fajita Seasoning.

What kind of Steamer Basket to steam Baby Potatoes?

I used the one that came with the accessories set.

If you are looking to buy it separately then here are a few options.

How to Cook Baby Potatoes in Instant Pot?

Cooking Baby Potatoes in Instant Pot is like 1-2-3. Yes, it is that easy. And this is how you do it.

• Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and remove any dirt on top. Place these babies inside the steamer basket.
• Take your IP and place the inner pot inside. Plug it in.
• Pour 1 cup of water inside the inner pot. If you are using the steamer that I have used, then place the short trivet inside.  And if you are using the steamer basket that already has the legs, then skip the trivet.
• Place the steamer basket inside the inner pot. Close the lid and set the valve to SEALING. 
• Press the Manual/Pressure Cooker Mode and set it on HIGH for 5 minutes. 
• As the timer goes off, follow NPR (natural pressure release). 
• Once the safety valve drops down, open the lid and take the steamer basket out.

What I like about this method is that the potatoes get steamed and still are not drenched in the water. Easier to peel or season right away.
