Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4-6 medium potatoes washed, russet used, cut in half
  • 1.5 c water
  • 1 sprinkle salt

Instructions

  • Pour water into pot. Lower down vegetable steamer basket.
  • Wash potatoes and slice in half width wise. Place into basket and shake sea salt on top of all of them.
  • Close lid and steam valve. Select steam function for 10 minutes, allow for a 2 minute natural release, then release rest of steam. (if you remove the skins I would set to 7 minutes with 2 min natural at the end instead)
  • Remove, serve, mash, cube, dice, or use them however you wish.
