Pressure Cooked "Baked Potatoes"
First take up to 10 small, clean baking potatoes and wrap them in foil (you can use bigger potatoes but you will need to cook them a bit longer)..
Pour in 2 cups water. Close the lid and lock it into place. Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes (or adjust the time to longer for larger potatoes). Naturally release the pressure.
Then comes the best part:
eat and enjoy!

- Homemade Chili
- Broccoli/Cheese sauce - today I put in broccoli, cauliflower and butternut and sunshine squash cubes and mixed in cheese after I steamed them. Good and healthy!
- Bacon Bits
- Sour Cream
- Crunched up flavored potato chips (not the healthiest, but tasty if you have some leftover chips to use)
- Green onions/chives
- Beef Stroganoff

Heather,
What is the advantage of wrapping the potatoes in foil vs. steaming them directly on the rack? Do they stay drier/moister?
The end result looks fantastic!!!
Ciao,

Great question! The foil gives the potatoes a texture of a baked potato when they are cooked in the pressure cooker. Less moist, less "starchy", less "mashy" if you will. If I am cooking mashed potatoes, I don't add the foil because the mashy, starchy, moistness is what is desired.
I don't have a metal trivet with my cooker. It that necessary or could you make the potatoes without it?
I've never tried it without. The whole point of the trivet is to keep the potatoes off the base so that they cook more evenly. I'm guessing they would still be fine, but maybe just cook more where they are touching the bottom of the pan.
I stumbled on this tonight knowing my steaks would be done well before the foil wrapped potatoes would be. Fabulous, I had 6 big bakers and I pressure cooked them standing up for 35 minutes. Perfect.
Just a tip. If you don't have a rack that you can insert in a pressure cooker, make some foil balls to put on the bottom.
Can also put canning jar rings on bottom of cooker
Just got my Fissler 8/4qt pressure cooker. Oh, I love it. And NOW, baked potatoes without a hot oven for an hour. Thanks for posting. We just ate dinner! It was a hit.

I just bought a presdure oven. Do you think I can use the same directions?
I'm not familiar enough with how pressure ovens work to give you a good answer for that. Let me know what you find out though, I'm intrigued.
I believe you can "scrunch" tin foil in the bottom of cooker rather than using a rack.
You don't need to prick the potatoes with a fork before cooking?
Hi Monica, I've never pricked them and they work just great!
Hi, I've tried this twice and my potatoes have come out still uncooked! I just tried it with one large baked potato for 20 minutes and it didn't work! I've got an instant duo pot electric pressure cooker. I'm trying again for another 20 minutes. Hope it cooks as I've got to do school pick up in a very short while!!
Hi Catherine, sorry the cooking time has not been working for you. Have you tried smaller potatoes? I've actually not tried the larger potatoes cooked this way. If I do, I will experiment with the time and update the recipe accordingly. Thanks for the input!
FOLLOWED YOUR DIRECTIONS EXACTLY, DID THREE MED. SIZE YUKON GOLD POTATOES IN CUISINART ELEC. 6QT PRESSURE COOKER AND THEY TURNED OUT PERFECT!! TIP FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE STEAMER RACK. BED, BATH AND B. HAS RED SILICONE STEAMER BASKET WITH OPEN/CLOSE HANDLE THAT MAKES PUTTING ANYTHING YOU WANT ABOVE WATER IN THE PC AND GETTING IT OUT REALLY EASY. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Make sure you add the water and make sure your valve is actually working.....30 Minutes....discard the foil wrapping to save a minute or two....
Ijust received my electric 4 qt pressure cooker and was looking for recipes, when I came across this one. having steaks tomorrow night so I will be trying these potatoes.
Does anyone know if I can cook with my old "traditional" type PC on a camp fire? We have a grate that we can place over the hot coals so my guess is that it might work. Please let me know if anyone has tried this and your results. Thank you in advance!
What is meant by "reduce pressure naturally"?
Hi Katherine,
"reduce the pressure naturally" means you let the pressure go down on it's own rather than a quick pressure release done by moving the pressure release valve. Hope that makes better sense.
The foil did not work for me. My potato were hard when I completed 20 minutes.
How big were your potatoes? Notice how the recipe says "small" potatoes. You may need to add to the cooking time if you are cooking large baking potatoes.
My only has a program options. Not high/low options. How do I change this setting or what program do I use?
I followed the directions exactly tonight with 2 baking potatoes, one small and one medium and they were still crunchy in the middle. Had to microwave them and they still weren't completely cooked. Any ideas on what went wrong? Did I not have enough potatoes in the pot for them to cook through?
Thank for sharing! Do you think that we can use that way to stream the potatoes in pot? If yes, how long will it take to finish streaming?
These are steamed potatos when using foil. For large best baked is 4 minutes in microwave, 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven or till internal temp is 200 and you have perfect baked potatoes.
