Instant Pot Ranch Salt Potatoes
Tender bite-sized potatoes are tossed with butter and ranch seasoning for a family favorite. These salt-crusted electric pressure cooker potatoes are easy and the best side dish recipe.
Equipment
- pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 3 pounds bite-sized potatoes use thin-skinned like those described above
- 1 C sea salt or kosher table salt
- 6 C hot water
- 1 stick salted butter
- ¼ C ranch seasoning mix
- 2 TBS fresh chives minced - Optional but so good
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes clean. Toss any that look bad (very soft, split, etc)
- Pour salt into the insert of your Instant Pot. Add the hot water to the insert. Stir to dissolve the salt. Once dissolved, add the potatoes.
- Put the lid on and lock it in place. Set the valve to ensure it is closed and it will come to pressure. Select MANUAL and the time to 3 minutes.
- Mine usually takes about 10 or so minutes to come to pressure. The pot will then begin counting the cooking time down. Once the 3 minutes is up, the Instant Pot will then begin counting up.
- Let it count up to 15 minutes for it to naturally release. You will then need to release the remaining pressure by opening the valve carefully – STEAM WILL BE HOT!
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, DO NOT rinse. Transfer to a large serving bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter and the ranch seasoning. Whisk until smooth. Pour the butter ranch mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Dice some fresh chives and sprinkle on the top. Serve warm.
