Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb bag organic yellow potatoes washed and left whole
  • 1 cup of water

Method
 

  1. Place the trivet in the bottom of your instant pot and add 1 cup of water.
  2. Place the washed potatoes on top of the trivet.
  3. Pressure cook for 14 minutes and then quick release the pressure once the time is done. If your potatoes are older and softer than normal do 13 minutes with a quick release. Enjoy how you wish!

Notes

Note on times: I eat a lot of potatoes and these times never fail me, but occasionally you get an extra hard batch. If you quick release them and they are not quite done, but oh so close, just put the cover back on quickly. The steam inside is enough to cook them slightly. If you really think you need more time, just add on 1 minute or maybe 2, again quick releasing right away. It will take pretty much no time to build pressure and cook that extra minute or two.
Easy Meal Idea With Tender Yellow Potatoes: One of the most simple, nourishing, and grounding meals is some steamed yellow mashed potatoes alongside a salad. I season the yellow potatoes with fresh thyme, Himalayan salt, and ground pepper.  A simple salad could be arugula, grape tomatoes, green onions, squeeze of lemon juice, and some ground pepper.
