Step One: Wash your potatoes and chop into 1-inch chunks.

Step Four: When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, do a quick pressure release to release the steam. Use caution when opening the lid, as there may still be steam inside. Serve your cooked potatoes with your favorite main dish. Garnish this delicious recipe with herbs or fresh parsley and enjoy!
