We headed to Casini Ranch, along the Russian River in Northern California, for a day of outdoor fun with the family. Since we were arriving at lunch, I wanted something easy that had minimal prep and provided a filling meal for the family without interrupting a full day of activity too much. Loaded potatoes were perfect!
The best part of this meal is that it could be prepped before hand. I threw my potatoes in the instant pot to cook, wrapped them in foil and warmed them up on the grill when we were ready to eat to heat them through.
Potato Bar
- Large Russet Potatoes (or potato of your choice)
- Salt
- Toppings of your choice (butter, sour cream, broccoli, bacon, chives, etc)
Baked Potato Instant Pot
- 1 cup of water
- 4 6-8 oz russet potatoes in 6 qt instant pot on High for 15 min
- Salt (optional)
- Natural vent for 10 minutes
I like to poke my potatoes with a fork prior to cooking and sprinkle with salt prior to cooking.
