How to Boil Potatoes in the Ipot?

I have been trying to figure out for myself  the best way to boil the potatoes using the Ipot.  The most common question is, how long do you cook potatoes or Taro root in the Ipot? I wanted to have a fool proof method to answer that question. A great answer to that question is that it depends on the amount, size and type of potato that is used. The other important question to ask is apart from the cooking time what about the end result. What texture does the cooked potato have? Does it  get cooked uniformly? Does it  hold its shape or get mushed when sauted? etc. Using the red potatoes we had in our pantry basket, I experimented and was able to recreate the same textured potato the last few times. Here is the procedure I used:




Gadgets:

Ipot
Steaming basket or rack
Kettle


Ingredients:

Red Potatoes - 12
Water - 2 cups
Kettle


Preparation: Total time 20 minutes.

1. Turn on the kettle with 2 cups of water.Wash and scrub all dirt off the potato.

2. Pour the hot water into the Ipot and place the steaming basket inside and add the potatoes.

3. Turn on the steam mode, on high pressure and set it to 4 minutes.

4. Allow for natural release and when opened using a knife poke into a potato and see it the knife through the potato easily.

5. Remove the basket allow the potatoes to cool and use.
