In reply to David Hoskins. Hi David! I would go with weight personally. For your potatoes, do 20 minutes :) Enjoy!

I'm just learning to use my instant pot and I really appreciate this site. I have a quick question: Which is the more important consideration for cooking time with this baked potato recipe? Weight or diameter? I'm asking because the russets I found are about 3 inches in diameter, but they weigh around 11 ounces each. Should I go with 16 or 20 minutes? Thanks!

This is without a doubt the BEST Baked Potatoe recipe. I use it all the time. Today I am doing a meal train for a friend with Cancer. I made these for her family two weeks ago and she eagerly texted me that she could actually eat potatoes and loved them. So making them again for her and her family. Thank you for the great recipe. I am not sure if I had reviewed this before but its worth reviewing with Five Stars twice if I have.

In reply to J. Hey there! It sounds like you had long, skinny potatoes and they may have just needed extra time. Be sure in the future to use cold water and be sure your IP is on high not low pressure. I am not saying that was the case in this situation, but those are common errors.

In reply to Wm Cox. Just tried this with russets; based on size I put them for 12 minutes. Then Then natural pressure release. Then 10 in oven to crisp. They came out way, way underdone. I put em back in the instant pot for 10 more on height just now, hopefully that’ll work.

Thank you for this recipe! My potatoes were just over 2 inches in diameter, so I cooked them in the instant pot for 12 minutes, and they came out perfect! I’ve always had a hard time cooking baked potatoes in the oven and the microwave as the timing is always inconsistent, and they never were cooked correctly. I’m going to cook them in the instant pot from now on thanks to your recipe. 😊

In reply to Pam M. I agree with you, Pam! It is hard to go back to making baked potatoes in the oven after using the Instant Pot. So happy to hear you enjoyed the results.

I loved these! I used small russet potatoes and followed the cooking time for their size and they came out perfect! I did crisp the skins in the oven as suggested as an option (could’ve used my air fryer lid I suppose) while waiting for the grilled chicken to finish. I loved the texture and so simple & quick to make; I’m not sure if I’ll make baked potatoes any other way now.

In reply to Amy. Hi Amy! I am sorry you had issues with the timing. Be sure you are using high pressure to cook (not low) and be sure to start with cold water, not warm water because that will change the cooking time.

The directions didn’t work for me. A medium sized potato required at least 30 minutes or more to become tender.

In reply to Kemecc.

I have found that yes, the cooking time is the same as long as the potatoes are similar in size.
10 minutes for small potatoes (less than 2 inches in diameter or 4-5 ounces)
12 minutes for medium potatoes (between 2-3 inches in diameter or 5-7 ounces)
16 minutes for large potatoes (between 3-4 inches in diameter or 8-10 ounces)
20 minutes for extra-large potatoes (4-4.5 inches in diameter or 11-13 ounces)

Are the times the same for golden potatoes?

In reply to Renee. It really is subjective to each person! I am glad you found my guide helpful.

Thank you for including the specifics of the different sizes; so very helpful as so often I wonder if the author of (any) recipe has the same idea as I of what is "large", "small" or in between.

Lana YOU DID IT AGAIN. My husband is the most picky eater. I bought my most recent Instant Pot (#4) because it had the Sous Vide function. I followed your directions exactly and my husband said "Without a doubt this is the best steak I have ever had". Even better, last week I had already grilled one of the steaks from this pack for him and he complained about how tough it was and most of that went to the dogs. THIS IS SO TENDER AND PERFECT. Cooked it at 146 for 2 hours and 1 minute each side in the cast iron skillet. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU you knocked it out of the park as always. This was a New York Strip Steak that I used.
