Instructions
Preparing Pressure cooker Prep Time – 1 Minute
- Ingredients to boil Potatoes in a pressure cooker.
- Add the Potatoes and 1 liter of water to a pressure cooker. Make sure that all potatoes are completely submerged in water. If required, add more water. Also, the cooker should be big enough to hold all potatoes. The total water level with potatoes should not be more than 75% of the cooker depth.
Boiling Potato Cook time – 10 Minute
- Cover the lid of the pressure cooker and keep it on high flame
- One of the questions that we are asked most is about the number of whistles for boiling potatoes in a pressure cooker. Here is the answer: After 2 whistles on a high flame, switch OFF the stove. Do not open the lid of the cooker till it has pressure in it. Let all the steam go OFF on its own.
- Once the steam has vanished, open the lid of the cooker and check whether Potatoes are properly boiled or not.
- To check: Poke the knife in one of the Potato, if it goes in easily, it means your job is done. Else, they might need some more time on the stove. You can safely keep them again on high flame and wait for another whistle and then switch off the stove. Don’t forget to wait for steam to vanish again.
- In normal conditions, you would not need more than 2 whistles as mentioned in the above step. But, in case the potatoes are really hard or the pressure cooker has old rubber or something else is not working, you may need this one more step of the whistle.
- Boiled Potatoes are ready to use. Peel their skin and they are now ready to be used in potato-based recipes. Enjoy.
