Before I got the Instant Pot digital pressure cooker, I used my slow cooker to make baked potatoes. It’s a great way to cook them if you don’t have a pressure cooker. However, this method is much faster and I can have baked potatoes ready in 20 minutes, perfectly fluffy and ready for our favorite toppings.


INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES

If you need an easy lunch, these Instant Pot Baked Potatoes and fill with leftover chili, pulled BBQ pork or chicken or Mexican quinoa. They are also absolutely delicious topped with cheese sauce or spinach artichoke dip. Tasty!

HOW TO MAKE BAKED POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT?

  • To cook your potatoes in the Instant Pot digital pressure cooker, use the wire trivet that came with the IP. Add one cup of water to the stainless steel insert and arrange potatoes on the trivet.
  • Close lid and turn the valve to “sealing” position. Set timer to 14 minutes for medium potatoes. Make sure the IP is set to cook on high pressure.
  • When the time is up and the Instant Pot beeps, press “cancel/off” button and let it release the pressure naturally for about 4 minutes. The switch the valve to “venting” position and do a quick pressure release.
  • Use kitchen tongs to remove the potatoes from the pressure cooker and set on a platter. Done! Your potatoes are ready!

It’s important to poke the potatoes with a fork. It allows the steam from the potatoes to escape during cooking.

No foil is needed to cook the potatoes in your pressure cooker.

HOW LONG DO I COOK BAKED POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT?

I tested this recipe starting at 12 minutes. The potatoes were cooked but too firm for my liking. When cooked for 14 minutes, they were soft and fluffy inside. I used medium size potatoes. If using small ones, 12 minutes should be enough. If using large potatoes, add 2 more minutes of cooking time.

My Instant Pot took about 8 minutes to come to pressure.

INSTANT POT LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN – KETO / LOW CARB

INSTANT POT LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN – KETO / LOW CARB Instant Pot Lemon Butter Chicken  – a flavorful one pot recipe made in the pressure cooker is the easiest meal for busy weeknights. This chicken recipe cooks up tender and juicy in a buttery lemon garlic  sauce. HOW DO YOU MAKE INSTANT POT LEMON BUTTER CHICKEN? You’re going to off by seasoning the chicken with some salt, black pepper and garlic powder. I used chicken thighs here but this dish would be delicious with chicken breasts as well. Next, you’re going to brown the chicken in the Instant Pot using the sauté function. Searing the chicken helps to seal in those amazing flavors and gives the chicken that crispy coating but feel free to skip the searing if you’re in a pinch. Transfer the chicken to a plate then add the butter, onions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, Italian seasoning and chicken broth. And  if you’re craving a more comforting dish like Instant Pot Creamy Lemon Chicken, feel free to swap out the chicke...
