Instant Pot Baby Potatoes are a hearty side dish that will have the kids, and your husband, asking for seconds. Normally potatoes take so long too cook to be nice and soft. However, the Instant Pot cooks them in 10 minutes. Most nights I top these with butter and garlic salt, but feel free to switch up the seasoning. Also sprinkle with Parmesan or Romano for a change in flavor.

We had a family from the hockey team over the other night and was able to whip these up right after the Ninja Foodi Asparagus Wrapped in Bacon. We served these with the asparagus and Ninja Grill Tuscan Pork. It was a great meal, especially with an added bottle of red wine. I have to say I also loved showcasing both my favorite Ninja products.

What You Need For Instant Pot Baby Potatoes

One pound of baby potatoes, or substitute small red potatoes cut in half. You could probably use fingerling potatoes, but would need to adjust the cook time for their size. One cup of water to provide the pressure cooker enough liquid and then the butter and seasoning of your choice.

Instructions

Wash the potatoes and add to the Instant Pot with the water. Close the pressure lid and set the pressure to high. Set the time to 10 minutes. Once cooking is complete release the pressure. Drain the water from the potatoes. Add butter and mix gently to coat. Gently as the potatoes are nice and soft and will break apart. If they do that quickly convert to mashed potatoes. Mix in your seasonings of choice, and viola a hearty and easy side dish. It is a great compliment to beef, pork or chicken.
