Cook Potatoes in Your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

We went on a picnic for Father’s Day. And at the last second we decided we wanted Potato Salad. It’s a good thing I had my Instant Pot. I was able to whip up a yummy potato salad in no time. And I thought maybe it would be a good idea to share how to cook potatoes in case anyone else is wondering. The fact is you can have delicious, soft potatoes to eat in 10 minutes if you cook them in your pressure cooker. It’s simple. While you are cooking your potatoes you can get the potato salad fixings cut up and the sauce made so as soon as the potatoes are done you just add the chopped veggies and mix in the sauce.

I also cooked my eggs at the same time so I cut those up and added them on top. Easy.

Here’s how to make delicious cooked potatoes in 10 minutes:

1. Cut your potatoes in quarters. We like skins on our potatoes, so that makes it even easier.

2. Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot.

3. Add the potatoes.

4. Close the lid and turn the handle to lock it in place. Set the pressure valve on top to “pressure”.

5. Click on the highest cook setting and set the time to “10” minutes.

6. Once the potatoes are cooked, let the pressure value release naturally or if you are in a hurry you can slide the pressure valve open and let the heat vent out. Be careful if you do this — it is HOT!

I rinsed the potatoes in a drainer until they were cool so I could make my potato salad super quickly. You can use your potatoes for ANY potato dish that you want – you don’t have to make potato salad with them LOL.

Everyone going in all directions all school year long….it is nice when things slow down a bit in the summer time. I hope you are finding time to visit the pool together, maybe a day in the park, going for ice cream…all those things that we love about the lazy days of summer. This little pressed picnic sandwich is a perfect way to make eating on the go easy and fun. You can really add in anything you like. This version is kids friendly…so I didn’t add in anything too spicy. Best when made a day ahead….when you are packing up for your picnic just slice it up and wrap in waxed paper. Take along a bag of chips…some fruit…yummy treat and your picnic is all set!

Here is what you will need:

ciabatta loaf

provolone

baked ham

prosciutto

salami

oil vinegar sub mix

romaine lettuce

Here’s how to:

slice long ways down the entire bread and open it up

layer cheese on (I cut my slices in half and placed on each side of bread)

layer lettuce

layer ham

drizzle a bit of oil ( placing it in between meats will prevent from bread getting soggy)

layer salami

layer any other items you may want (red roasted peppers are great here)

close the bread

wrap in double saran wrap

place in fridge with a heavy weight on the top

when ready to leave, unwrap and re wrap with wax paper, slice up on the diagonal

You’re ready to grab and go!

I would love for you to stop by and see what I have been working on!

Thanks for having me visit this month Jen:)
