What You Need to Cook the Potatoes
- 1 multicooker
How to Prepare Boiled Potatoes in Instant Pot
Wash the potatoes and scrub them with a rough sponge to remove surface impurities.
Place the potatoes inside the multicooker pot and close with the lid.
Cook the potatoes with the pressure function for 15 minutes.
If you are using very large potatoes, cook for 18 minutes.
At the end of cooking, let the potatoes rest inside the pot, still closed, for about ten minutes.
Then depressurize and serve the boiled potatoes, or use them for your preparations.
How to Store Boiled Potatoes in Instant Pot
I recommend preparing and consuming the boiled potatoes cooked in the multifunction pot immediately.
Otherwise, you can store them for up to two days in the refrigerator.
