Instructions

Add the water to the bottom of your instant pot.

Place the trivet inside the instant pot.

Remove any dirt from the potatoes and gently scrub them with a soft brush and warm water. Poke holes in the potatoes.

Place your potatoes in the pot on the trivet.

Shut the sealing valve and cover your Instant Pot.

Adjust your Instant Pot to High Pressure and let it cook for 15 minutes.

Let your potatoes release naturally for approximately 10 minutes before manually releasing and pulling the valve towards you.

As the potatoes are hot, use tongs to remove them.

Transfer to your potatoes to a serving dish or plate. Cut the potato down the middle and add a tablespoon of butter to each potato.

Top with shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, green onions, and a scoop of sour cream.\

Tips & Tricks (5)

Use the Natural Release Method ⏱️
Allow 10 minutes of natural pressure release after cooking before manually venting to prevent potato skin splitting and maintain fluffy interiors.
Precook Bacon for Optimal Texture 🥓
Cook bacon until crispy before adding and crumble it fresh just before serving to maintain crunch rather than softening it in steam.
Pat Potatoes Dry Before Topping 💧
Gently pat steamed potatoes with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, allowing sour cream and cheese toppings to adhere better and create a creamier finish.
Warm Your Toppings Separately 🧈
Heat butter, sour cream, and cheese in a small bowl while potatoes cook so toppings melt smoothly into the hot potatoes for superior flavor integration.
Cut Uniform Potato Sizes 🔪
Cut russet potatoes into equal 2-inch chunks to ensure even cooking times and consistent texture throughout your batch.
