Equipment
- Pressure Cooker / Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 lbs baby potatoes
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 7 bacon cut into 1" pieces
- 2 green onions chopped
Instructions
- Cut the bacon into 1" pieces (the thicker the bacon the better).
- Clean, scrub & rinse the baby potatoes. Slice the potatoes in half.
- Set to sauté high. Add cut bacon and cook for 7-10 minutes or until crispy. Transfer the bacon bits and place them on a paper towel (to remove excess oil). Set aside until ready to cook. Drain the bacon grease from the IP.
- Add baby potatoes, salt, pepper, paprika, onion & garlic to the cooker. Mix everything together.
- Add water.
- Place the lid on. Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes and do a quick release (exercise caution when releasing pressure from the cooker). Follow the manufacture instructions for releasing the pressure. Remove the lid.
- Add 1 cup of shredded cheese and gently fold/mix until the cheese has melted (recommend using a wooden spoon). Repeat with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
- Add sour cream, cooked bacon and gently fold/mix until everything is well coated (until sauce has become uniform and consistent).
- Top with chopped green onions.
