Pressure Cooker Hot Salt Potatoes
Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 lbs baby red potatoes or similar variety
- 2 Qts water hot tap water
- 1 cup sea salt use a high quality salt
For Dipping:
- 1 stick butter melted, for dipping
- 1 cup sour cream and chives
Instructions
- In a large measuring cup dissolve your salt into hot water. Set this aside. Keep stirring occasionally because your salt will sink to the bottom and you need it to be thoroughly dissolved. *see note below
- Empty potatoes into a large colander. Rinse and scrub them very well since you will be eating the skins on these. You can use any variety of baby reds or similar potatoes for this recipe. Just make sure they are thin skinned and small.
- Add potatoes into the pot.
- Pour salted water into the pot as well. This seems like a lot of salt, but not for this recipe.
- Set pot to Pressure Cook for 4 min and 8 NPR.
- While potatoes are cooking melt your butter and set aside for dipping your lovely potatoes. You can also serve these with a sour cream and chive dip. This makes such a great appetizer or side dish when grilling.
- When potatoes are done, drain in colander and serve with melted butter.
- What can you do with leftover salted potatoes? I always try to make a big batch of these because the leftover potatoes are so good for Air Fried Crash Hot Potatoes. Here is a link: https://grandmabehrendt.com/crash-hot-potatoes-air-fryer/
- Give them a little smash.
- Brush them with butter.
- Air fry until crispy! So good.
Notes
**It is possible for salt to pit stainless steel pots if it's just sitting in the bottom. I have seen this happen. Dissolving your salt in water first will prevent this from happening.
