Instant Pot Creamy Potatoes

How Do You Cook Potatoes in Instant Pot

How long does it take to cook potatoes in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker? The answer is less than 15 minutes! You can make these perfect Instant Pot potatoes using my shortcuts.

First I saute the potatoes until they turn crispy, then pressure cook on high in the Instant Pot. It cuts the total cooking time in half as there is no need to use the the oven or the stove.

These Instant Pot creamy potatoes are crisp on the outside and soft, fluffy and pillowy on the inside.

I seasoned the potatoes with garlic, thyme, oregano, Italian Parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and lemon juice.

To create enough steam to pressure cook the potatoes to perfection, you will need liquid. For this Instant Pot creamy potatoes recipe, I used a liquid mixture of heavy whipping cream and chicken broth.

These potatoes is one of the most perfect side dishes. They go well with any protein or pasta. The recipe is low in calories at 242 calories per serving!

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 compared to oven or stove top. In just minutes, you’ll have potatoes with a soft and moist center and crispy exterior. Happy cooking!
