Instant pot red potatoes recipe
We love potatoes and they really make the perfect side dish. Not only are they easy but they are frugal.
I grew up on butter potatoes. Did you? They are so delicous.
It is such an easy recipe that you practically don’t need to call it a recipe. But as I was talking to others, I realized not other families grew up on this easy side dish so I had to share.
Normally you boil the potatoes until tender and then add butter and salt and pepper. Then you let the butter melt all over your potatoes leaving you with a delicious side dish.
However, thanks to the trusty Instant pot (or any electric pressure cooker for that matter) this family favorite side dish just got even easier because the cooking time just got cut in half!
You only need 10 minutes to make red potatoes in instant pot!
This is an easy side dish recipe that I think you are going to love. Give it a try!
Instant pot red potatoes ingredients:
- Red Potatoes
- Butter
- Chicken Broth
- Minced Garlic
- Salt & Pepper
How do you steam red potatoes in the instant pot?
Cut your potatoes into quarters, leaving the skin on. You can peel them first, but the skin will fall right off if you have picky eaters.
Place in your Instant pot or any electric pressure cooker.
Pour your water over the top. Season with salt and pepper and then add your butter to the top (not melted).
Place lid on top and set to sealing.
Click your manual button and set the pressure time to 5 minutes.
Allow it to cook and when finished manually remove the pressure.
Remove lid and stir the potatoes coating it in the delicious buttery sauce.
Enjoy!

If I wanted to cut this in half, do I also cut the amount of water in half? I know the IP requires a certain amount of water

I originally purchased a Power Pressure Cooker (6 quart) and it worked with no problems for over 8 years. Since that time I have purchased two different Instant Pots and both of them died in less than 1 1/2 years. I am at a loss on what to buy next since the reviews of Instant Pots on Amazon are not particularly promising, Help!
