INSTANT POT "BAKED" POTATOES

[@Echothreads]

Took way to long for me to find a simple, straightforward “how to cook a potato in the instant pot” video with no nonsense! Thank you!

[@sybiljordan209]

Thumbs up!!!! Tks

[@mikejoanis7849]

Not sure what Echothreads was thinking but it was well made video

[@SteveAubrey1762]

My mum and my wife were the chefs in my world. I could cook on the grill or over a campfire but that was it. Both my mum and my wife passed away in 2014. Now it's just me and my 12 year old son. We're getting tired of pizza and hot dogs. I was given an instant 6 months ago and didn't know what to do with it. Glad I found your channel. Tonight I'm going to cook potatoes in that thing.

[@klimtkahlo]

I am so sorry for your loss! Stay strong. You can do it! 💞

[@thecuttingsark5094]

The instant pot is great for dudes too. My favourite is Cajun black beans with pork, no soak method. Keep going big man.

[@jinnat48]

I am so sorry to read this. Instant Pot is a big help to cook. I hope you will meet Jesus and find peace in your heart. I was an orphan and now I am at peace. « These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. » John 16:33 Amen.

Good job dude! Also look at the Six Sisters videos. Learned lots from them.

Hi. I am a bachelor. I made roast beef for Christmas dinner. I followed this recipe for the potatoes. Crisped them up as per the instructions. My guests were impressed. Thank you. Only one thing. There are no leftovers. You rock.

[@dreasmom2789]

Thank you. I new to using a instant pot but I thought it would take a lot less time. Not that I need it to take last time I was just thinking it would take less time. Also want to mention I like your video especially because you get right to the point and you don't talk about all the unnecessary things that don't pertain to making potatoes in an instant pot.

[@KristenPound]

Yeah it does take a bit more time than I thought it was going to as well, but everything comes out so perfectly every time that it's worth it to me. And yay! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@kendrasmith6637]

Thank you for this how to video for my instant pot. I got it as a gift about 2 years ago. Its still in the box. I keep reading and looking at the directions that came with it and I was always scared I would do it wrong and it would blow up... LOL ... but this is the way I learn best. Watching you... most youtube videos don't really show you how to do it step by step, and thats what I need to learn how to use it. Thanks so much. I may try this now. I do make potatoes quite often. Now it won't take so long. Thank you again. I would love if you would do some more how to videos... for other foods you use it for and how to. I can learn to do it this way. Thank you again for taking the time to teach us how. This video is perfect for me. :) :)

[@samndeeolney5665]

[@greeneyes6311]

Perfect medium-sized russett potatoes with your "recipe". Served with good, real butter, Humboldt sour cream which is the best, shredded 3 cheese, scallions, S&P, and TJ's Hot & Sweet Jalapenos- delicious! Unfortunately, I tested my blood sugar at one hour after and it was higher than I'd like. Next time will either make them for my family and I'll eat cauliflower with toppings instead or I might try just a half of a potato.

[@monummos]

Green eyes thanks for that observation , I found it helpful. Skipping a pot today just gonna feed my family those.

[@ExpressionsofAwakening]

I just did this last night but since I want to use them for fries, I only did 3 min on manual so they are totally cooked but more firm.

[@KristenPound]

Oooooo! I definitely wanna try this ASAP! So smart.

[@mommac4374]

Thanks I love making homemade fries

[@vitazgal9933]

hmmm...that's what I want to do & am going to put in the Air Fryer to make them crispy...

[@dama_dimples]

Planning on baking some peeled potatoes then use the air frier mode to crisp them up. Will season some olive oil and brush over them before the air frier step.

[@NickyPeterson]

Thanks for showing this. I’m so afraid of my instant pot. Have you ever made a burrito bowl video? I’d love to see it!

[@mommac4374]

Don't worry about it we all probably get that way but as you cook with it you will be comfortable

[@KristenPound]

I'll totally make a burrito bowl video soon! :)

[@brennaarthur2173]

me too. still afraid of it lol.

[@tailirrenepeoples2074]

I’m afraid too 😩

[@BookmakerStudio]

I was afraid at first but now love it! Just remember to let it depressurize naturally and no worries!

[@citizenmope605]

‘Keep Warm’ means the contents of the instant pot is still cooking as the instant pot is still providing heat. A true natural pressure release can be done on ‘OFF’, by pressing cancel.

[@KristenPound]

Good to know!

[@nickameen]

Trying this out tonight. Thanks!

[@KristenPound]

Hope it went well! :)

[@Big_Sm0ke]

If you put them in the oven after to crisp them up, do you just put them right on the rack or wrap them in foil first or what?

[@oksanak.189]

If you want to crisp your potatoes then definitely no foil! Wrapping potatoes in foil prevents them from getting crispy.

[@bamaunderwritter]

Thank you. Will try this

[@KristenPound]

You're so welcome! :)

[@TheDungeonDive]

I did this exactly, with the same instant pot, twice with 4 potatoes each, and each time all that happened was the skinned steamed off, and the potatoes were totally uncooked. I cannot figure it out. And I'm a pretty good cook! :)

[@KristenPound]

That's so strange! Damn. I wish I knew what was going on so I could help you. 🤔

[@ishmael4489]

I tried this method but in a pressure cooker for 13 minutes at high pressure and they were hard inside also. I really don't get what I'm doing wrong.

[@Wickedstickyflowers]

Oh hell ! Plug it in , forget it ! I’ll order out!

[@epedersen38]

Just a little tidbit, the process will go a lot quicker if you preheat your cooker. Just add a little water and, hit pressure while your preparing your food. It literally gets up to pressure quicker when you preheat.

[@KristenPound]

Ooo. Good to know! Thanks. :)

Agree with being your true self coachings comment! Parcook those mothas about 3 to 5 minutes and slice and then bake (I use my toaster oven) at 425 for 20 minutes. Boooomb oil free wedges. So creamy!!

[@KristenPound]

Yessss! SO smart! I'm definitely gonna try that ASAP.

[@BigBudzGaming]

Not baked potatoes unless they have crispy skins. I have the newer instant pot that has the air fryer lid. After pressure cooking them how long would you recommend i air fry for crispy skins

[@raymondfornesjr1969]

Looking good!! I bet chili or lentils stew would be good on top!! Thanks!! 👍👍👍

[@Caseydid]

You say to use cold water, however, that cold water has to be brought up to 212 degrees F in order to produce the steam to cook those potatoes. So in order to cut down on the boiling time in the pot, why not put boiling water in the pot to make the total cooking time less? It just makes simple sense to me.

[@KristenPound]

Yeah I don't know. That's just how I started doing it and it worked really well so I just kept doing it that way. I always wondered why most recipes say to use cold water when you're gonna boil it anyway...but yeah idk lol

[@jmander82]

You use cold water instead of hot because it starts to do some of the cooking while its pressurizing. So if it comes to pressure faster it cooks for a shorter amount of time and some things may not cook through

[@pamelasertich9850]

Thank you so much, bet they are good

[@Jimmy4240]

hell yea this is sick

[@Phony-baloney8]

Does the size of your pot make a difference regarding how much water you put in at the beginning? (I have an 8-quart pot.)

[@maldridge7630]

Excellent 👍🏼

[@RorsvortBoris]

What’s the advantage to use the naturally release pressure vs do it when it ends?

[@ninjadood7745]

"Plug in your instant pot" 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheCelestialhealer]

So if I get it right:12 minutes for cooking under pressure plus 10 minutes for continuation of cooking. 22 minutes altogether? I am making them right now, but my instant pot doesnt have manual, so I put it on vegetable which is 8 minutes and then I will combine.

[@johnfroage5751]

I tried it with 3 medium potatoes for 12 minutes-12 minute natural release. Very crunchy potatoes. So hard I couldn't mash them. By the way, observe the silver lock pin and make sure it is down before trying to open the lid.

[@KristenPound]

Wow. That actually blows my mind. I wonder why it works so differently depending on the person. Very interesting!

[@RespectorRevenge]

Same 12 didn’t work with 2 med potatoes same way weird doing 20 for now on like a diff vid I saw

[@scottesk4078]

Good how-to video, but I'm wondering what happens if you use less than 4 potatoes, and if you don't poke holes in them. Does it not cook them as well when you use less, and does it affect how well they cook if you don't poke holes in them? I cook for myself so not interested in 4 potatoes...

[@RonsonDalby]

Is the timing the same for the 3qt IP?

[@passacaglia28]

Thank you for this video. I never knew how easy it was to cook baking (russet) potatoes in an instant pot. Mine is a snaller model though. Should that settings or amount of water be the same?

It should be the same. But I can't say for sure since I've never tried it myself. And you're welcome! :)

I wonder can you put frozen little ears of corn on the cob at the same time or is that too much cool time for corn ?

[@dennisyoung4631]

I just use eight minutes on steam, and let the thing let the thing depressurize on its own. (3 quart.) Note that I cut up the potatoes and use a steamer basket. They are good with salt and butter or sour cream.

[@dukainmanning7246]

I am a carnivore, those looked awesome!! Nice a tender😊

[@cactusbill6034]

Currently going on 19 minutes and still not done. Did 4 potato’s same size as yours maybe even slightly smaller, at 12 minutes with 10 minutes natural pressure release. Cut one all the way open and it’s still relatively hard and chunky.

[@KristenPound]

Damn. That’s so interesting 🤨

[@weege001]

got three big ass russets in their now. 14 minutes cook time. going to use them for potato with egg salad.. eggs are next in the instant pot

[@timhoovermusicman]

So how did it go?

[@ssvr]

Is there a reason why you have to wait 10 mins for a natural release? Or can you just do a quick release to do it faster? Thanks.

[@KristenPound]

I'm not 100% sure. That's just the way I do it and it works for me. :)

[@gimiter7463]

how cold?

Need help? Has anyone used the instant pot outdoor. I want to get a power inverter but which one to get modified sine wave or pure sine wave. I'm not getting a straight answer from the instant pot company. I dont want to spend more than i need to any help would be appreciated

[@arbo3495]

Is it the same if i don't use the metal thing?

[@okiul]

The minimum amount of water for pressure cooking should not be less than 500mL (18 fl Oz). This in the manual. All recipes I found use one cup of water (half of the minimum amount required by the manufacturer). This would void the warranty I believe.

[@KristenPound]

Ooo good to know!

[@averyshenan958]

Mine didn’t cook at that time lol mine were a little bit bigger and I had to cook them twice at 20 minutes and they still weren’t the way I like lol what is up

[@CDX410]

what is the 'Less, Normal, More' on the pressure cooker? does it matter? Mine doesn't have a manual button.

[@KristenPound]

Hmmm I’m not sure. Different models of the IP have different buttons for some reason. A quick google search might help. But it sounds like normal might be the right one?
