How to make Baked Potatoes in the Instant Pot! | Easy Dinner for your Family 

For the longest time, I just couldn't get my potatoes to come out right, and I realized I wasn't dancing with my husband. Ever since then, I've gotten perfectly cooked potatoes, every time. Thanks Frugal Fit Mom!

This recipe worked well this time. I used my 6-in-1 Instant Pot Lux. First, I placed 6 potatoes on the rack and stuck it in the pot. I then added 1 cup of water. I put on the lid and kept it on the sealed setting, pressed the manual button, set it for 10 minutes. It then started by itself. I waited until it counted down, then let it count up to L20. I took off the lid and the potatoes were perfect! Just like a baked potato.

I got an instant pot for Christmas and love it!! Lentils are my favorite thing to cook in it, but I have never cooked baked potatoes!! Thanks for the tip!!

The dance with your husband really solidified my decision to hit the like button. So sweet!

Interesting. I was thinking of doing chilli and cheese topped baked potatoes, and wanted to know how to do baked potatoes in my instant pot. I am becoming a frugal mum

My Russet potatoes are not getting done. My potatoes usually are around 5 - 6 oz. I only cook 2 or 3 at a time. I use cold water, prick the potatoes, use the trivet... etc,. I follow the directions to the letter and they are still not cooked in the middle. I even let the steam release naturally for about 5 minutes. I have tried 8 minutes, 10 min, 12 min. I'm now moving to 15 minutes. My pot cooks properly for everything else. Must be our water here in Louisville, KY. LOL

You go, Idaho girl! I too live in the Gem State. Trying to decide if I want an Instant Pot. Thanks for sharing. It looks like a go on the Pot.

Update. I can hardly believe how great and tasty these potatoes turned out. Sure, no crispy skin, but evenly cooked through, and with better texture than boiled potatoes. Plus, with less water (I decided to only use the 1 IP measure I use for everything) I imagine that more of the nutrients stay in. And so IP-easy! Now when I'm not cooking meat in the oven and therefore baking the potatoes there, I can enjoy quick spuds. Thanks again.

I have just got the mini one hardly any recipes. If I put a full cup it will cover the the rack. Do you but less water but same time.?

You had me at “the other side” song...

The manual says don’t ever use less than 2 cups of water which is probably why most people’s food isn’t pressurizing correctly (so it’s undercooked)

I just tried this recipe and it didn't work for me. I made 3 small red potatoes and set manual high pressure for 10 min added 1 cup of water and made sure it was on seal not vent. They sat for 20 min on natural release .... I even poked holes on the potatoes and it still didn't work.

I need to make these with my pressure cooker! Btw, Walgreens' Christmas stuff finally went to 90% off. Got peeps for 7 cents. ..lol

Looks yummy 😋 I am making some for lunch. Thank for the video 😎

I googled "instant pot baked potatoes" and look who it is! Christine!!! This is a throwback 😅 Love all your videos!

Thank you. I have a pressure cooker its like yours it only say pressure.cooker lol.so I guess I can make instant pot recipes right?

I see you set yours for 10 mins.....I tried it with 4 potatoes and they were only half done. actually had to do it again for another 30mins before fork tender??? I see same conflicting times in other videos..10-12mins vs 30???

Thank you for showing potatoes in fast cooker can not wait to make some!! I am skipping the chili butter sour cream and green onion for me!

one of my favorite videos! fun!

Thanks so 10 minutes on pressure 20 to stand

Delightful : ) So much fun and just what I wanted to know -- all in 3:33! Thank you, lol. I'm sub'd. My 6-qt IP lives on my stove, replacing 2 elements because it does most of my pot-type cooking (no kids anymore, though I do cook for 2 big dogs). Among other things, I use it regularly for rice, quinoa, boiled eggs for myself, and countless kinds of meat, fish, chicken, bones, etc. for The Girls. How I ever got along before, I can't imagine. My other favourite helper is an Oster French-door countertop convection oven. That is what I need to make what I consider the best baked potatoes. Crispy skins are the best part for me. So, nuked spuds? Gross! But sometimes, I would like to have quick potatoes, and I knew I'd find someone to show me how to do this so I can add spuds to my IP Recipe Book. Err, notebook. I think I've got it: Scrub spuds, prick, rack, 1 c water, Pressure High 10, Sit 20. Oh. And, even an added tip! I might note, as per protocol in restaurants, "slice and shove ends in to open." I won't have to add "Top, and feast." Woohoo! I'm heading to the kitchen now, to do the first test : )

10 mins isn't long enough. My potatoes were half cooked.

Love how you didn't talk so much!! And you and your husband are super cute!

Nice! Since I got my IP, I haven't used my oven.

Looks like Cutco cutlery knife with the pearl handle. We love our Cutco. #madeinAmerica

Do you know what the most number of pounds of potatoes is that you can cook in there at one time? How many quarts is that instant pot that you have?

Okay guys I have done this many time and for me 10 minutes is not enough time even with a natural release. I like my potatoes very very soft. it takes 20 minutes minimum and at least 10 minutes natural release to get them as soft as I like mine.

I did 2 large potatoes, 1 C water, 10 minutes, high pressure, natural release and potatoes were very raw. ☹️ I put them back, added water, and did another 20 minutes.

Another video elsewhere poked a few holes in the top of the potato, and cooked 18-22 min with a natural release

Yum!

I only want to cook one potato so I will have to see how many minutes are needed. I have the Ultra model.

You didn’t prick them? They didn’t explode!

Does it taste like oven baked potatoes or? I like oven baked red potatoes and was wondering if IP will taste like that.!!!

Idaho potato farmers thankyou.

what?!?! 10 mins to cook? I need to watch more instant pot videos... and consider one of these

Busy Saturday = baked potatoe/chili/bacon/cheese/sour cream Oh yeah...

love doing potatoes too, and sweet potatoes, and rice in mine weekly

Cute shirt

What if you don’t have Manuel button

“Instapot” drives me crazy too. It’s not another brand. It’s just people being lazy and not just saying INSTANT pot.

I forgot how long to cook baked taters in the instant pot so I watched your video. I like the song you danced to but, I can't remember who sang it and the name.. Thanks

Do you have to poke the potatoes with a fork first?

Absolutely so sweet seeing you two dancing 😍😍😍😍

I don’t care. It will always be InstaPot

One of my favorite frugal potato meals: Idaho Sunrise www.gimmesomeoven.com/idaho-sunrise-baked-eggs-and-bacon-in-potato-bowls/

You’re so cute!! 😘

Pressure cooking a potato is not baking it

Don't you have to poke holes in potatoes?

manual -10 min....:-) 20 min natural release ..just saved u 4 min of your life... applause please! :-)

Okay, so 10 minutes pressure cook, followed by 20 minutes natural release/keep warm. Your potatoes look like they came out perfect but since this is supposed to be a tutorial you should stipulate that clearly; either at the beginning or as a recap a the end. Still, thank you for your video

The only good thing are the potatoes. The junk on top comes at a cost to one's health! And sometimes, the cost is much too high.

Just show us how to bake the damn potatoes already.

You talk to much get to the point please
