Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 medium-sized russet potatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • sea salt
  • olive oil spray

Instructions
 

  • Place the metal trivet into the instant pot. Prepare the potatoes by scrubbing them and piercing them all over with a fork.
  • Pour the water into the instant pot and place the potatoes on top. You can stack them on top of each other if needed.
  • Close the lid and set it to the sealed position. Press the manual/pressure cook to high and cook for 12 minutes for small potatoes, 15 minutes or medium, and 18 for large potatoes.
  • Let the pressure release naturally. Then quickly release any remaining pressure and carefully open the top.

If you want your potato skins crispy:

  • Lay them on a baking sheet and spray with olive oil spray. Place in the oven and turn on high broil for 3-4 minutes or until the skin is slightly crisp. Sprinkle the potatoes with some sea salt and serve as desired.
