Instant Pot Lemon Butter, Parmesan + Chive Red Potatoes – Need a really versatile, easy side dish? Something that goes with EVERYTHING? Baby red potatoes are cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot and then get an infusion of flavor from lemon butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley and chives.
How to make Lemon Butter, Parmesan + Chive Red Potatoes in the Instant Pot
- Using a potato peeler, cut a strip around the middle of each potato. Add 1 cup of chicken broth ( or water) to the Instant Pot, insert a vegetable steamer basket (or the trivet that came with the Instant Pot) and place potatoes in the steamer basket.
- Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK, high pressure and cook for 7 minutes, followed by a QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE.
- Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove potatoes from Instant Pot and place in serving bowl. Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt (approx. 15 seconds). Mix lemon juice with butter and pour over potatoes, sprinkle with parsley, chives, salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese.
Recipe Notes:
- Adjusting the cook time for different size potatoes-I'm using baby red potatoes that are about 1- 1 ½ inches in diameter ( cook time 7 minutes). If you are using extra small baby potatoes (less than 1 inch in diameter ) reduce cooking time to 5 minutes. If you are using medium size red potatoes ( about 2 ½ inches in diameter) increase cook time to 12 minutes. Followed by a QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE .
- If you opt not to cut a strip around the middle of each potato, make sure to pierce the skin of each potato 3-5 times with the tines of a fork to let steam escape.
