Thank you Melanie I just cooked baked potatoes using pressure cooker. Exactly how you showed us. Delicious! Thank you I will be a follower and subscribe :)
This is a valid cooking method, and I'm going to do it this afternoon so that I have potatoes to make homemade gnocchi. But these are not baked potatoes. These are basically the same thing as boiled whole potatoes, or steamed potatoes. You get the same exact product if you were to wrap them in aluminum foil and bake them in the oven. Baking is done with dry heat, this is done with steam. Also, a properly baked potato should have a crisp skin on the outside which is why properly baked potatoes are hollowed out so I have to make twice baked potatoes. The skins have to be sturdy enough to hold up while you scoop out the flesh.
20 minutes seems reasonable. I saw one video that said 12, but my potatoes were still hard in the middle. I'm going to try this way instead. Thanks for the video!
Hmm, that does seem too much for the instant pot. I can do that in a pot on the stove for less than that amount of time. I thought the instant pot would get it done quicker. I'll have to give it a try and find out for myself. I'm still new at this and looking for recipes.
Thanks for your lovely videos! I tried this as my first recipe but the three potatoes were still a little hard so put them in for another ten and they were perfect What might l have done wrong? 😊
Air fryers differ and mine must run hotter then yours. Also, some potatoes are bigger and tougher and take longer to cook :) Great that you figured out the time that works well for your air fryer!
That's the closest thing to baked potatoes that you can make using an Instant Pot :) For traditional style baked potatoes with crispy skin, check out my air fryer baked potatoes video: ua-cam.com/video/5wd_FZFmP4Y/v-deo.html
TECHNICALLY YOU'RE SAYING IT TAKES 30 MINUTES!! Why is that quick not even close to quick. After 20 minutes if you're letting the pressure release naturally that adds another 10 minutes of cooking. Quicker in the microwave, I think quicker if you do the stove version in the water. You would think a pressure cooker would cook them quicker.
Thank you Melanie! This one saved me from starving tonight! God bless you and keep you healthy.
You are welcome! Thank you so much for the kind wishes!
Potatoes in the Instant Pot are my favorite! Thanks, Melanie 👍🏼
Thanks Jim! I'm so glad you liked the video!

@@Twobarpsi thanks for the update! I'm so happy you enjoyed the potatoes!
@@MelanieCooksRecipes do you have a recipe for oatmeal? Thanks.
@@Twobarpsi I never made oatmeal in the Instant Pot. Thanks for the idea, I'll put it on my to-do list for future videos!
I'm just going to do that for a bunch of reds. It looks easy, even I can do it.
Awesome! Hope you enjoyed!
Thank you 🙏🏼💕🌸
You are welcome, Liz! 🤗
20mins is v long time for pressure cooking potatoes ?
I think potatoes turn out better in the instant pot rather than the air fryer. More moist.
I prefer the air fryer for crispy skin 😀 But yes, the instant pot ones are more moist. It’s nice to have options!
Is it ok to cook one big one?
Yes, same cooking time!
I like to crisp them up in the ninja grill 🏴
Great idea! 👍
“ poke the potatoes so they don’t exploded “😂🤣 ... who found that out the hard way 😬
Lol it happens to the best of us! 🤣🤣🤣
can i cook just two medium size ones ??
Yes! Same cooking time
Did you press the slow cook button?
No, I use the pressure cook button
Steamed potatoes

@@MelanieCooksRecipes I prefer steamed. Comes out perfect and uses less energy
wait, there is a steam function
I always use the default Pressure Cook function, never tried Steam
@@MelanieCooksRecipes not sure about the difference but I am guessing steaming is a bit gentler
Yeah but you had yours on normal pressure not high
My Instant Pot has only High and Low pressure, I used High

After 20 minutes if you're letting the pressure release naturally that adds another 10 minutes of cooking.
