Instant Pot Salted Potatoes

Now some may wonder why bother using the IP?

Such things can just as simply be made on your stovetop or in the oven. I can answer with three words:

It’s freakin’ HOT.

I want potatoes but I don’t want a raging inferno in my apartment to get them. Summertime is not the time for cozy warm kitchens. Ask me in December and I may be singing a different tune. 😉

As for August, I’m using my IP.

This yummy potato dish was based off the recipe from the Instant Pot mastermind “This Old Gal” and her Syracuse Salted Potatoes. Her recipe adds a nice blanket of butter to the spuds, which is super delicious, I’m sure. Keeping mine plain lets them play a supporting role to a great curry or roast dinner.

I chop the leftovers into chunks, toss them with olive oil and roast ’em up as hash browns with eggs for breakfast. The options are endless!
