Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly, removing any dirt or debris. If some potatoes are larger, cut them into roughly equal bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the garlic by peeling and finely mincing the cloves. Chop the fresh rosemary leaves into small, fragrant pieces.
- Pour the vegetable broth into the bottom of the Instant Pot, creating a liquid base for steaming and flavoring the potatoes.
- Add the prepared baby potatoes to the Instant Pot, spreading them evenly across the bottom of the pot.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary over the potatoes. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Secure the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to the sealing position. Select the Manual or Pressure Cook setting and set the timer for 8-10 minutes at high pressure.
- Once the cooking cycle completes, perform a quick release of the pressure by carefully moving the valve to venting position.
- Open the lid and gently stir the potatoes to ensure even coating with the herbs and garlic. Check potatoes for tenderness with a fork.
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with additional fresh rosemary if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- Choose Uniform Potatoes: For even cooking, select baby potatoes that are similar in size. If any are larger, cut them into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
- Mince Garlic for Maximum Flavor: The finer you mince the garlic, the more intense its flavor will be. Don’t skip this step if you want that robust garlic taste!
- Fresh Herbs Make a Difference: Using fresh rosemary instead of dried will significantly enhance the aroma and flavor of your dish. If you can, pick it straight from your garden or buy it from a local market.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Depending on the size of your potatoes and your desired level of tenderness, you can adjust the cooking time between 8 to 10 minutes. Always check for doneness with a fork!
- Quick Release for Perfect Texture: After cooking, use the quick release method to prevent overcooking. This helps maintain the potatoes' fluffy texture.
- Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, consider garnishing with additional fresh rosemary or a sprinkle of sea salt for an appealing presentation that will wow your guests.
