Instant Pot Baked Potatoes
We absolutely LOVE having loaded baked potatoes for dinner at least once a week. And sometimes for a hearty lunch on the weekends. We pile them high with all the normal fixin’s: butter, sour cream, cheese, bacon, etc…
And then some yummy protein: BBQ pork or chicken, leftover taco meat, or other leftover meat from the night before. Such a great, easy dinner and a wonderful way to re-purpose leftovers!
Of course I am all about my instant pot and coming up with new, faster, easier ways to make some of our favorites, so I had to see if I could make our baked potatoes in there! I googled and found this recipe for instant pot baked potatoes and gave it a whirl and was really excited with how simple it was! And fast! So fast!
These are a keeper folks! (If you haven’t got your own instant pot yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? LOL! Click here to get the one I have!) It is seriously my most used kitchen appliance now!
