Instant Pot Baby Potatoes (Steamed)

Instant Pot Baby Potatoes (steamed) recipe results in a flavorful, fluffy, and tender potato side dish that your family will love. Season with your favorite spices and serve it for busy weeknight dinners.

How to Steam Baby Potatoes in Instant Pot

Firstly wash and clean the potatoes with water. Add 1 cup of water into the instant pot insert. Place the trivet and then arrange the baby potatoes in the steamer basket.

Close the Instant Pot with pressure valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.

Once the instant pot beeps, Wait for the pressure to release naturally and then open the lid. Check the doneness of steamed baby potatoes by inserting a knife or fork in the center.

How to Boil Baby Potatoes without Steamer Basket

You can steam baby potatoes in an Instant Pot pressure cooker with or without a steamer basket. I have used a steel steamer basket that comes along with the Instant Pot packing.

But if you don't have a steamer basket, just put baby potatoes in the inner pot and 1 cup of water and follow the steps. But I highly recommend using a steamer basket to get perfectly cooked baby potatoes.

How to Serve?

You can sprinkle some salt and pepper or season them with your favorite spices like Italian seasoning or taco seasoning and serve them as a side dish.

Tips for the Best Boiled Baby Potatoes

1. Size - Make sure all the baby potatoes are of the same size for even and faster cooking. If a few are slightly big then cut them into half or quarters.
2. Potato Skin – You can keep the skins on. Just make sure to clean them before using them.
