Instant Pot Baked Potatoes Are So Easy, Versatile, and Delicious! They Cook Quickly and Are the Perfect Side or Main Dish for Any Occasion.

We love Instant Pot recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Scalloped Potatoes and Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowl.

INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES

I love baked potatoes…they’re so easy and inexpensive, but so versatile! They can serve as a delicious side with just about any main dish, but they also make a wonderful main dish when topped with Instant Pot Wendy’s Copycat Chili or Instant Pot Pork Carnitas.

Baked potatoes are easy to make in the oven or slow cooker, but they take so long. When you have a busy schedule and hungry mouths to feed, it doesn’t always work to plan ahead. With your Instant Pot, you can have fluffy, delicious baked potatoes ready to serve in minutes!

DOES COOKING TIME CHANGE WITH THE SIZE OF THE POTATOES?

For most Instant Pot recipes, changing the quantity will change the amount of time it takes to come to pressure, but it won’t really change the cooking time. This isn’t the case for baked potatoes.

Because the potatoes are pretty dense, the cooking time is different when you change the size of the potatoes. The cooking time in this recipe is for medium potatoes, like those you get in a 5 or 10 pound bag at the grocery store. If your potatoes are larger, you will want to increase the cooking time.

WHAT ARE SOME TOPPING IDEAS FOR INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES?

There are so many possibilities! You can go minimalist with butter, salt, and pepper, or go all out with a loaded baked potato with all the fixings. You can also scoop out some of the baked potatoes to make potato skins! (Reserve what you scoop out for potato soup, potato pancakes, or mashed potatoes.)

You can also top your Instant Pot Baked Potatoes with Instant Pot Taco Meat, Instant Pot Shredded Mexican Chicken, or Slow Cooker Sweet Pulled Pork. Get creative and have fun!

WILL INSTANT POT BAKED POTATOES FREEZE WELL?

This is one of the few recipes that really will not freeze well. Potatoes don’t tend to react well to being frozen, unfortunately. They discolor and take on an odd texture. However, my Instant Pot Baked Potatoes cook up so quickly that you can easily have them ready for any meal, even when your schedule is tight!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
