How to Make Instant Pot Twice Baked Potatoes
Make sure to clean your Potatoes, and set them in the Instant Pot.
Pour in 1 cup of water, and add a little Garlic salt.
Put the lid on the IP, wait for it to beep and then lock.
Be sure that the PRESSURE VALVE is set to SEALING. Switch to MANUAL, and set for 6 minutes.
When the IP finishes cooking, you will then want to do a quick release, by twisting the Pressure valve, with a potholder to keep from burning your hands, then from the SEALING position to VENTING.
Take off the lid to the IP, and using some kitchen tongs, take out the potatoes and add to a plate, and let them rest for 5 minutes.
As the potatoes are resting, put the trivet in the bottom of the IP.
Add in the broccoli florets into a steamer basket, and put the basket in the IP, and set on top of the trivet.
Pour in 1 cup of water, and put the lid on the IP.
Be sure the pressure valve is on SEALING. Set to Manual and set for – 0 – minutes.
Let the IP rise in pressure, and when it is finished, beeps and switches to off, twist the valve to VENTING, and let all the pressure release.
Allow the steamed Broccoli to sit in the IP for 1 minute.
Take out the basket, and out the finished Broccoli in a bowl. You will want to melt 1/3 cup of butter, and add garlic salt to the butter. Drizzle melted butter over broccoli, and toss.
Put the potatoes on the lined cookie sheet.
Using a sharp knife, slice the potatoes open, without cutting all the way through.
Using a large spoon, take out the inside of the potato, and put it in a bowl.
You want to completely hallow them out. Mash the insides of the potato, and put in 1/2 stick of butter in the crushed potatoes.
Allow the butter to melt, then mix well. Sprinkle in the Garlic salt, Seasoned salt, and seasoned pepper, and mix it well.
Then, add in the minced garlic, and half of the shredded cheese. Pour in half of the crumbled bacon, and mix again.
Then, fill up the hallowed skins with the mashed mixture.
Put the steamed broccoli florets on top of each potato.
Add on top of the potatoes the remainder of the crumbled bacon and cheese over the potatoes.
Set you finished potatoes on the cookie sheet and for 10-15 minutes, cook in the oven at 400 degrees or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just a little bit browned.
Remove Potatoes from cookie sheet, serve, and enjoy!
