  • Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting and set the time for 4 minutes on high pressure.
  • Once cooking is complete, perform a quick release by carefully turning the valve to venting. Wait for all the steam to release and the pin to drop before opening the lid. If the potatoes need more time, remove the eggs and cook the potatoes for another minute or so.
  • Transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel and chop the eggs.
