How to Make Rosemary New Potatoes in an Instant Pot

This easy recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi, or Power Pressure Cooker XL.

Start by placing a steamer basket into the pressure cooker pot. Add a cup of water to the pot and add the sliced potatoes to the steamer basket. Cook on high for four minutes. 

Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the oil, garlic, and rosemary. Cover the dish and microwave until fragrant, about 1 minute. When the cook time ends, do a quick pressure release. 

Carefully remove the steamer basket with the cooked potatoes from the Instant Pot. Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet or serving dish, then drizzle with the infused rosemary oil. Season with salt and pepper, then serve!

My husband used a mandoline to thinly slice the red new potatoes with a fun crinkle cut.

Barbara likes to use the OXO Steamer to keep the potatoes out of the water, so they steam instead of boil. Jenn prefers her silicone steamer basket. Either would be a great choice!

Using a steamer makes a difference in texture that you can taste, but certainly isn’t necessary.

Important Tips for Making Instant Pot Rosemary Garlic Potatoes

Fresh rosemary adds a punch of flavor to these sliced potatoes.

To prepare the rosemary, remove the green leaves from the woody stem of the herbs. Place the leaves on your cutting board and chop them into a fine green powder. 

We cook the oil in the microwave for a shortcut. However, you can also do it on the stovetop. Just use a small skillet and cook until the oil is fragrant and warm.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rosemary Garlic Potatoes 

What are new potatoes?

New potatoes are small, round potatoes. They’re usually found in mesh bags at the grocery store. And the great part is that using new potatoes means no peeling! Just wash and slice! 

Can I use red potatoes?

Yes, you can use any color new potatoes you’d like for this recipe. 

Do I have to use a mandoline?

Using a mandolin makes it much easier to slice the potatoes into even pieces that cook at the same time. If you don’t have one, no worries. Just use a sharp knife and slice as evenly as possible.
