You don't need to sear this roast. Not necessary. *See below for shredded porketta.
Leave roast in netting and on trivet with broth on the bottom of the inner pot.
Arrange whole (peeled or unpeeled) med-sized potatoes around the roast. They won't fit on the trivet, you can just place them sort of elevated next to the roast.
Cook on High Pressure for 24 min* see note (about 8 min per lb.) and do a full 30 min NPR. Even if the pin drops, do not open the pot. Just wait.**If you want to shred the roast see notes below
When NPR is done, open pot and carefully remove potatoes. Check the temprature of your roast. Your roast should have an internal temperature of about 168° F (75°C). If your roast has reached that temp then lift roast out with the trivet and let cool a bit before slicing.
When roast has cooled enough to handle, carefully remove the netting. Be careful, sometimes netting can be elastic and make a mess with the seasonings. Slice roast as desired for plating.
Serve roast and potatoes with the flavorful juices from the bottom of the pot. Thicken it with a cornstarch slurry if you want more of a gravy instead.
Notes
Note: I have been asked about this by a few people. I had never seen a porketta served shredded, but it sounded pretty good. *If you are looking for a shredded roast, you will need to remove the netting, cut the roast into 2-3 sections if it's large. Also, your timing will be much different more like 12-15 min per lb with a full 30 NPR. Porketta is almost always served tender and sliced. I have never had anyone serve a shredded roast.If you can't find a preseasoned porketta roast, you can make your own roast by finding a rolled pork roast in netting and adding your own seasoning.Porchetta is almost always served sliced. It's only been recently that I have ever had anyone ask about shredding such a great roast. I still prefer the sliced roast to shredded pork. I think it's just better. It depends on how you wish to serve it I guess. Our porketta dinners porketta slicedPorchetta Seasoning - Rub roast with oil and liberally apply seasoning to coat the outside of the roast.
