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!

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

You are welcome! Please let me know how it turns out! 😋

[@annwithaplan9766]

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.

[@Twobarpsi]

I tried 20 minutes, natural release, and they turned out perfect!

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

@@Twobarpsi I'm so glad you enjoyed them!

[@goldilocks913]

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? 😊

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

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!

[@Twobarpsi]

Thanks for the recipe! 20 minutes seems like a good cooking time.

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

You are welcome! 🤗

@@MelanieCooksRecipes red skinned potatoes turned out perfect at 20 mins, I just tried it yesterday!

@@Twobarpsi thanks for the update! I'm so happy you enjoyed the potatoes!

@@MelanieCooksRecipes do you have a recipe for oatmeal? Thanks.

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

@@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!

[@mr.gregory6768]

I think potatoes turn out better in the instant pot rather than the air fryer. More moist.

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

I prefer the air fryer for crispy skin 😀 But yes, the instant pot ones are more moist. It’s nice to have options!

[@akaxl]

20mins is v long time for pressure cooking potatoes ?

[@hotdog12ify]

can i cook just two medium size ones ??

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

Yes! Same cooking time

[@christyrodgers472]

Is it ok to cook one big one?

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

Yes, same cooking time!

“ poke the potatoes so they don’t exploded “😂🤣 ... who found that out the hard way 😬

Lol it happens to the best of us! 🤣🤣🤣

I like to crisp them up in the ninja grill 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great idea! 👍

[@antonego7950]

Did you press the slow cook button?

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

No, I use the pressure cook button

[@merovingian688]

Steamed potatoes

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jHkHmQe9KDars

[@merovingian688]

@@MelanieCooksRecipes I prefer steamed. Comes out perfect and uses less energy

[@neerajkorde2072]

wait, there is a steam function

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

I always use the default Pressure Cook function, never tried Steam

[@neerajkorde2072]

@@MelanieCooksRecipes not sure about the difference but I am guessing steaming is a bit gentler

[@nathenbennett3734]

Yeah but you had yours on normal pressure not high

[@MelanieCooksRecipes]

My Instant Pot has only High and Low pressure, I used High

[@muzikmon2267]

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.
