This is such a simple thing but I always forget how to do it. I'm leaving this here as a place for me to always find it, but for anyone else who may want it as well. Instant Pot Baked Potatoes Put the trivet in the instant pot. Pour in 1 cup of cold water for a 6 qt model or 1 1/2 cups of cold water for an 8 qt model. Scrub the potatoes well and prick the potatoes several times with a fork or knife. Cook on high pressure. 10 minutes for small potatoes 12 minutes for medium potatoes 16 minutes for large potatoes 20 minutes for extra large potatoes Allow the pressure to release naturally for 8-10 minutes before venting. If you want crispy skin, brush the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or broil for 2-3 minutes per side.
