I have chosen to use Olive Oil for this recipe instead of butter, as these roasted potatoes does taste good with Oil too. Using butter is indulgence in the recipe and they do add all the extra oomph factor, but why let them hit your waist, when you can enjoy them guilt free.Festive Occasions are all about indulgence but, I will let the desserts do the honours and we can splurge on the side dish easily.

HOW TO MAKE GARLIC HERB ROASTED POTATOES?
It is actually pretty simple to make Garlic Roasted Potatoes in Instant Pot. The whole idea is to make it exactly how you would make on the stove top.First cook the potatoes and then roast it on the pan with garlic, herbs and oil. Pretty simple isn’t it. I am not really convinced yet with roasting the potatoes first and then pressure cooking and roast again. I make these Instant Pot Roast Potatoes by pressure cooking the potatoes first. Just add Water, Potatoes and Salt to the Pot. Secure the lid, seal the valve and pressure cook for 5-8 minutes followed by Quick Pressure Release. I really did not have any water left in my pot and the potatoes were a teeny bit moist. Alternatively, if you would like the cook the potatoes in the steamer basket, I would recommend 5 minutes of Pressure cooking on HIGH, QPR. *** Pressure Cooking time totally depends on the type of potaoes.. The next step is to Sauté the Potatoes in the Instant Pot . To the potatoes in the pot, add oil, seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Gently Stir. Allow the potatoes to sit in one place for 5-6 minutes before stirring them again. This allows the potato skin to brown and crisp. Repeat this process once or twice until the potatoes are well roasted. Carefully spoon the potatoes to a serving bowl and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with herbs and serve. Couple of things to remember while making INSTANT POT POTATOES How long to cook baby potatoes in instant pot?I’d recommend anywhere between 4-8 minutes pressure cook time for potatoes, but what will also change is the pressure release. Pricking and constantly watching is not required.I found my optimum at 8 minutes pressure cooking, followed by QPR You can pressure cook the potatoes using Pot in Pot method too { PIP }. I did not have any water left in my pot. But if you have got any left, remember to drain it before you start sautéing the potatoes with oil and herbs seasoning.
