Notes
Do NOT compared these potatoes to oven roasted potatoes, the texture won't be the same. Cooking in instant pot as well know is steam cooking, so expect potatoes to be softer rather than crispier!I had some liquid left over after cooking. Most of it was all fat (butter) and not water. Ensure you use minimal liquid so potatoes don't loose their crispness.
