    Poke the potatoes with fork to make holes in each potato. This is to prevent potatoes from exploding in the pressurecooker.

    Add a cup of water in the inner pot of the instant pot then place trivet or steamer basket in the pot.

    Place the potatoes on the trivet then close the instant pot pressure cooker with it’s lid.
