Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes

Pressure Cooker, Sides

Ingredients

1.5 pound (680g) baby potatoes

1 teaspoon (4g) onion powder

1 teaspoon (4g) garlic powder

3 - 4 pinches coarse kosher salt

2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter

1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil

1 cup (250ml) cold water

Directions

Pressure Cook Baby Potatoes:
Pour cold water, then place a stainless steel steamer basket in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Place baby potatoes in steamer basket. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 15 minutes, then Quick Release.

*Pro Tip: This will produce creamy & soft baby potatoes. If you prefer a firmer texture, reduce the pressure cooking time by a few minutes. (See Our Roasted Potatoes Experiment Results Here)

Make Creamy Roasted Potatoes:
Set aside the pressure cooked baby potatoes. Discard water in inner pot & towel dry inner pot.

Heat up Instant Pot using "Saute" function (press "Cancel" button, then "Saute" button).

Once the indicator says HOT, add unsalted butter and olive oil in Instant Pot.

Add pressure cooked baby potatoes in Instant Pot. With a wooden spoon, gently stir the baby potatoes to coat them with butter.

Sprinkle garlic powder and onion powder on the baby potatoes. Gentle mix the baby potatoes, then allow the powder to darken & harden a little.

Taste & season Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes with salt and black pepper (if desired). For reference, we used roughly 4 pinches of coarse kosher salt per 1.5 pounds of potatoes.

Serve Instant Pot Roasted Potatoes:
The Roasted Potatoes in Instant Pot will be piping hot, so let it cool for roughly 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!~ 🙂
