This Garlic Butter Instant Pot Red Potatoes recipe is a quick and flavorful side dish featuring tender red potatoes cooked to perfection in a rich garlic butter sauce infused with Italian seasoning. Ready in just 12 minutes using the Instant Pot, these potatoes are an easy and delicious addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds (907g) red potatoes (baby or regular)

Liquid & Seasoning

  • ¾ cup (177ml) chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • Salt, to taste

Fat

  • 4 tablespoons butter (cubed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash the red potatoes thoroughly, dry them with a towel, then cut them in half if using baby potatoes or into quarters for larger red potatoes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Ingredients to Instant Pot: Place the cut potatoes into the Instant Pot insert. Pour the chicken stock over the potatoes. Sprinkle Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and salt evenly on top.
  3. Pressure Cook: Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position. Select the high-pressure cooking setting and set the timer for 7 minutes.
  4. Release Pressure and Stir: When cooking is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure. Open the lid and gently stir the potatoes to evenly coat them in the flavorful garlic butter mixture, taking care not to break them apart.
  5. Serve: Optionally sprinkle fresh herbs over the potatoes for extra flavor, then plate and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • If using larger potatoes, ensure they are cut into uniform pieces to maintain even cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken stock with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor or to make it vegetarian-friendly if butter is replaced with a vegan alternative.
  • Be gentle when stirring after cooking to keep the potatoes intact and avoid mushiness.
  • Fresh parsley or chives make great herb toppings to enhance taste and presentation.
  • Adjust salt according to your dietary preference or broth sodium level.
