Instant Pot Potatoes with Herb Butter
Instant Pot Potatoes with Herb Butter are creamy and taste like roasted potatoes. The butter, herbs & garlic make these pressure cooker potatoes flavorful.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter, sliced
- ½ teaspoon Dried Basil
- ½ teaspoon Rosemary, dried, or 1 tsp fresh
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt (coarse salt) or ½ tsp table salt
- 4 cloves Garlic, pressed or finely minced
- 3 lbs Gold Potatoes or Red Potatoes, cut in half (about 2 ½"-3" size, not Baby)
- ½ cup Water (or broth)
Garnish
- ⅓ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Parsley
Instructions
-
Turn on the Sauté setting of the pot. When hot add the butter slices. Stir until melted.
-
Add the basil, rosemary, onion powder, pepper, salt, & garlic. Stir well while cooking about 20 seconds. Don't let the garlic burn.
-
Add the potatoes and toss in the butter until coated.
-
Pour in the water/broth. Then cancel the sauté setting.
-
Place the lid on the pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
-
Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button, or dial. Then press the +/- button or dial to select 7 minutes (if your potatoes are larger, increase the time or quarter the potatoes).
-
When the cook time is finished, turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to do a Quick Release of the pressure.
-
When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and gently stir the potatoes.
-
If you want to crisp your potatoes, remove them from the pot (saving the buttery sauce) and place on a baking sheet. Put under the broiler for a few minutes, turning once. Watch them so they don't burn.
-
Garnish with parmesan, parsley, and the reserved buttery sauce from the pot.
