Instant Pot Cooking Time and Settings for Crispy Baby Red Potatoes

[neuron]

I put my fingerlings in a steamer just pile in a little olive oil and herbs de Provence & 1 cup water for 6 minutes
So good

For baby red potatoes in the IP for five minutes. Done, just not crispy.

 

[hfessggb]

@aganagapao , yes then broil for a few minutes to crisp up the ski .

 

[aganagapao]

@hfessggb good idea! I never thought of that. I am wondering how long do I cook in the IP for large russet potatoes.

 

[carabu]

@aganagapao 15 min

@hfessggb thanks! Hubby wants stuffed potatoes for dinner.

I pressure cook on a trivet with one cup liquid. And natural release. Then sometimes I drain liquid and sauté in pot with olive oil on sauté

Quarter them, use the same prep method, but bake in the oven on foil lined greased cookie sheet, to get the results you’re looking for

Instapot cooks by steaming. They won't be cripsy unless you have and use an air fryer lid.

 

[hazeloak]

Use the air fryer lid if you have one. If not, you'll need the minimum liquid for your pot and they won't be crispy. About 4 minutes under pressure. Or use the oven.

@hazeloak any experience with using the air fryer lid without the basket?

 

[hazeloak]

@lurkerplasma yes. I brown chicken without the basket. You can use the inner stainless steel pot alone, no problem.

 

[lurkerplasma]

@hazeloak good to know. Thanks!!!

If you don’t have the air fryer lid, you could steam (without the seasoning) for a few min. Probably 5 would be good. And then sauté them with the herbs and some olive oil the rest of the way.

Try Syracuse salt potatoes!!!

I don’t have an air fryer or the air fry lid, so I cook mine with regular lid on pressure cook, then use grill basket on BBQ, or oven at high temp, to crisp

 

[petricia]

You are cooking with steam and pressure. You can't get crispy out of it.

Air fryer

Saute mode or an air fryer lid are your best options.
