How to Make Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes in an Instant Pot or Electric Pressure Cooker<\/b><\/h2>\n

This Instant Pot Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, or Mealthy MultiPot. <\/p>\n

I love cooking potatoes in the pressure cooker! They cook quickly, evenly, and when you use a steamer basket, they don’t break down around the edges.<\/p>\n

\"Easy<\/p>\n

Do I Have to Cook the Potatoes in a Steamer Basket?<\/b><\/h2>\n

I strongly recommend making the potatoes in a steamer basket. <\/b>Getting them up out of the liquid makes a difference in texture of the potatoes.<\/p>\n

You can use any steamer you like. I\u2019ve made these with a metal OXO Steamer<\/a> as well as a plastic Oxo steamer<\/a> or a mesh steamer basket<\/a>. <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a steamer basket, you can use the trivet that came with your pressure cooker. In a pinch, just add the potatoes directly to the liquid in the bottom of the pot. <\/p>\n

How to Brown the Au Gratin Topping<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have a Mealthy CrispLid<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Instant Pot Duo Crisp<\/a>, you can add the topping and brown these easy scalloped potatoes right in your pot! This is perfect for pot luck meals where you serve directly from the pressure cooker!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using a traditional broiler, pour the potato-cheese mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and broil at 350\u00baF until golden brown. Remember, once it starts to brown, it will change quickly, so keep a close watch on it!<\/p>\n
