Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes washed and cut into halves
Garlic
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Herbs
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon oregano or rosemary
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Butter
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
Vegetable Stock
- ½ cup vegetable stock (120 ml)
Instructions
- Step 1: Begin by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Once cleaned, cut them in half for even cooking.
- Step 2: Place the halved potatoes into the Instant Pot. Add the minced garlic, thyme, oregano (or rosemary), ground black pepper, and sea salt flakes. Pour the vegetable stock over the top.
- Step 3: Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure valve to “sealing.” Select the high-pressure setting and cook for 5 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 more minutes.
- Step 4: Carefully remove the lid and drizzle the melted butter over the cooked potatoes. Toss gently to coat all the potatoes.
- Step 5: Transfer the buttered potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with additional herbs if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider using herb-infused butter or adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
