Instant Pot "Baked" potatoes with crispy skins

 4 – 8  medium potatoes

1  cup  water

Olive oil ( optional)

Sea salt ( optional)


Add 1 cup water and trivet or steamer basket to Instant Pot. 

Pierce each potato five times with a fork and place on trivet. Be sure potatoes are not touching water. 

Set for MANUAL, HIGH pressure for 12-18 minutes depending on potato size. It will take the pressure cooker 7-10 minutes to come to pressure.

Naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes, before releasing any remaining pressure and opening the lid. 

While pressure is releasing, preheat grill to HIGH. 

Place potatoes on baking sheet, rub with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with kosher salt. Grill 4-6 minutes until the skins are crispy.
