Instant Pot Baked Potatoes Recipe – perfectly fluffy potatoes cooked in a digital pressure cooker. No foil needed!
We like to serve these potatoes with Easy Grilled Chicken or Parmesan Tilapia.
Before I got the Instant Pot digital pressure cooker, I used my slow cooker to make baked potatoes. It's a great way to cook them if you don't have a pressure cooker. However, this method is much faster and I can have baked potatoes ready in 20 minutes, perfectly fluffy and ready for our favorite toppings.

HOW TO MAKE BAKED POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT?
- To cook your potatoes in the Instant Pot digital pressure cooker, use the wire trivet that came with the IP. Add one cup of water to the stainless steel insert and arrange potatoes on the trivet.
- Close lid and turn the valve to "sealing" position. Set timer to 14 minutes for medium potatoes. Make sure the IP is set to cook on high pressure.
- When the time is up and the Instant Pot beeps, press "cancel/off" button and let it release the pressure naturally for about 4 minutes. The switch the valve to "venting" position and do a quick pressure release.
- Use kitchen tongs to remove the potatoes from the pressure cooker and set on a platter. Done! Your potatoes are ready!
It's important to poke the potatoes with a fork. It allows the steam from the potatoes to escape during cooking.
No foil is needed to cook the potatoes in your pressure cooker.
HOW LONG DO I COOK BAKED POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT?
I tested this recipe starting at 12 minutes. The potatoes were cooked but too firm for my liking. When cooked for 14 minutes, they were soft and fluffy inside. I used medium size potatoes. If using small ones, 12 minutes should be enough. If using large potatoes, add 2 more minutes of cooking time.
My Instant Pot took about 8 minutes to come to pressure.
