Season the Potatoes

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme until well coated.

Pro tip: Ensure all potatoes are evenly coated for uniform cooking.

Set Up the Instant Pot

Pour the chicken broth into the Instant Pot and place the steamer basket inside.

Pro tip: The broth prevents the potatoes from sticking and adds flavour.

Add the Potatoes

Transfer the seasoned potatoes into the steamer basket inside the Instant Pot.

Pro tip: Arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.

Pressure Cook

Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 8 minutes. Ensure the valve is set to sealing.

Pro tip: Quick release the pressure once cooking is complete.

Crisp the Potatoes

Remove potatoes from the Instant Pot and spread them on a baking sheet. Broil in the oven at 220°C (425°F) for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.

Pro tip: Watch closely to avoid burning.
