Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes, about 250g each
  • 250ml water
  • Salted butter, to serve
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Scrub the potatoes and prick each one several times with a fork.

  2. Pour the water into the inner pot and place a trivet in the bottom. Stand the potatoes on the trivet.

  3. Lock the lid, set the steam release valve to Sealing and select Pressure Cook (High) for 15 minutes.

  4. When the time is up, leave the pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to Venting to release any remaining steam.

  5. Lift out the potatoes carefully with tongs. For a crisp skin, rub with a little oil and salt and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (200°C fan) for 10 minutes.

  6. Split open, add butter and season well before serving.
