    Potato is the most versatile vegetable that can be paired with any other veggies. It is staple food in Indian kitchen at least in my kitchen. I make many sabzi, curry, tikki using potato. And of course many non-Indians also use potatoes in like potato salad, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes etc.

    I used to boil the potato in my traditional pressure cooker where I have keep track of number of whistles and need to stay there to turn off the stove once ready. But when we cook potatoes in Instant pot, we don’t have to worry about counting whistles. In short, you don’t need to be present there while it is cooking.

    Actually most of the times, I use delay start to cook potatoes in Instant pot. For example, I need boiled potatoes in the morning to make sabzi for lunch-box or to make aloo paratha for breakfast. So the night before, I adjust the delay start (of about 6-7 hours) and the hot, boiled potatoes are ready when I get into the kitchen next morning. This is such a time-saver. Owning an Instant pot is such a blessing!!!

    Let the pressure release naturally. Check the doneness of by inserting a knife or fork in the center.

    Cooking time guide:

    – For the medium sized potatoes (shown in the picture) will take around 8 minutes. – If you have small sized potatoes then reduce the cooking time – 6 minutes. – If you have larger sized potatoes then increase the cooking time – 9,10 minutes.

    Also, boiling potatoes at the mentioned cooking time results into the tender, soft yet firm texture boiled potatoes. This texture is perfect for sabzi, curry, salad or bombay sandwiches where we are chopping or slicing them.

    Increase the cooking time by 2 to 3 minutes to get very soft and almost mushy texture. This is perfect when we are mashing the potatoes like aloo paratha, batata vada, mashed potatoes.

    What type of potatoes to use?

    – Russet or Idaho potatoes have more starch in them. So these are good for frying or baking. Do not use this type for boiling in IP. – I prefer to use red potatoes or golden potatoes. Perfect for Indian cooking.
