Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly, then slice them uniformly into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Instant Pot Duo Crisp by inserting the air fryer lid, and lightly grease the inner pot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Layer the potato slices in overlapping circular patterns, creating multiple layers to build depth and texture in the dish.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, whisking until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the seasoned cream mixture evenly over the layered potato slices, ensuring all potatoes are well-coated and moistened.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top layer of potatoes, covering the surface completely for a rich, golden crust.
- Close the Instant Pot Duo Crisp lid and set to pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, then use quick release method.
- Switch to air crisp mode at 400°F for an additional 10 minutes to create a crispy, golden-brown top layer.
- Once cooking is complete, let the potato bake rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to settle and facilitate easier serving.
- Carefully remove from Instant Pot, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot as a delicious side dish.
Tips
- • Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking - a mandoline slicer works wonders for consistent 1/4-inch thick rounds. • Don't skip greasing the pot - this prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. • Layer potatoes in overlapping circular patterns for maximum flavor absorption and visual appeal. • Whisk the cream mixture thoroughly to distribute seasonings evenly. • For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese blends like a mix of cheddar and parmesan. • Let the potato bake rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld and make serving easier. • Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. • If you like a extra crispy top, don't be afraid to add an extra minute or two in air crisp mode.
