Scrub skin of potatoes with a brush until clean. Stab with fork 5-8 times.
Pour 1 cup of water into the insert of the Instant Pot. Place steamer basket (the one that comes with the Instant Pot works great) in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Place potatoes on top of/inside steamer basket.
Secure the lid and turn valve to seal.
Use the manual mode of Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes.
Allow pressure to “release naturally” – takes 15-20 minutes.
Once the pressure valve lowers, remove lid and serve immediately with desired toppings. You can also store in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container.

If you have teeny tiny potatoes, they'll cook faster. 10 minute will likely do the trick.
If you have giant, giant potatoes, you might need up to 18-20 minutes.
