Poor 1 cup of water into the stainless steel inner pot.
Place the trivet insert into the inner pot.
Wash your potatoes and pierce them with a fork (I do this about 5-7 times)
Place the potatoes onto the trivet inside the pot and secure the lid. (4-6 potatoes max) Move the dial on the lid to the "sealing" position.
Pressure cook the potatoes for 12-18 minutes depending on the size of your potato. (See graphic above for reference) To do this, select "manual" or "pressure cook" on your Instant Pot.
Set the timer for 15 minutes. The Instant Pot will beep a few times when the potatoes are finished cooking. You want to let the steam in the pot release naturally until your pot reads "LO 10". At this point, do a "quick release" by carefully moving the dial to the "venting" position.
Once the red safety button has dropped, it's safe to remove the lid.
Carefully remove the potatoes with some tongs and let cool before handling.
