Potatoes are a great filler for many dishes. My husband, the meat and potatoes man, would agree. I find making potatoes time consuming and they weren’t always my favorite part of dinner; until my husband bought me a pressure cooker. Now I use it for just about everything especially Pressure Cooker Potatoes.
The most time consuming part of making potatoes in a pressure cooker is waiting for it to come to pressure. How many recipes can I make using pressure cooker potatoes? Quite a few, but here is a small example…
My husband loves mashed potatoes, but it took forever boiling them and I always had some potatoes that weren’t ready.
For Mashed:
Peel
Cut in halves and/or quarter depending on the size of the potato. The key is for them to be approximately the same size.
Set pressure cooker to high
Set for 5-7 minutes
Your pressure cooker and size of potatoes may require a time variation, but this is a good time to start.
Make mashed potatoes as a side dish or on a Shepard pie.
My most favorite reason to use pressure cooker potatoes? When I cook them whole. It doesn’t take much longer too cook then for mashed potatoes and you save even more time because you don’t have to peel them.
For Whole Potatoes:
Wash Potatoes
Place in cleaned potatoes cooker and fill with water till the tips of top potatoes are still showing.
Set pressure cooker to high
Set for 8-10 minutes (times may vary)
I keep the peels on for Potato Salad and when I make twice baked potatoes or potatoes skins…
I make other yummy recipes with my pressure cooker, my families favorite is pressure cooker chili.
