Equipment

1 pressure cooker
1 1.5 quart glass bowl if making homemade

Ingredients

3 tbsp butter melted
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2.5 tbsp flour all purpose
1.5 c milk whole milk
4 medium potatoes peeled, sliced into 1/16" pieces, we used Yukon Gold
2 c cheese white cheddar, shredded, 1/2 c reserved for top
1/4 c chicken broth or vegetable broth, or water, optional if you want to thin sauce out

Instructions

Homemade Instant Pot scalloped potatoes - Peel and slice potatoes, use mandolin slicer for best results to make them thin and all the same thickness. 1/16" is best.
In a small bowl whisk together the flour, salt, pepper until well combined and smooth. Add melted butter and then whisk in milk and broth until there are no lumps.
In a bowl that fits inside your pressure cooker begin layering the ingredients. Start with a bit of broth mixture, then potatoes, liquid mixture, then cheese and keep repeating these layers until you've reached almost to the top. (leave a bit of room for bubbling when cooking). The top layer should be just potatoes.
Pour 1.5 c water into the inner pot of your pressure cooker and lower down a trivet. Lower bowl on to trivet. Close lid and steam valve.
Set to high pressure for 25 minutes. Allow to naturally release steam for 10 minutes when done, then release rest quickly.
If you want top an ooey gooey cheesiness top with remaining 1/2 c of cheese set aside and:
Put under your broiler for a few minutes to crisp top. Close Ninja Foodi air crisp lid if you have that machine and set to 400 degrees for a few minutes to crisp, or use CrispLid at 400 degrees for 4-5 minutes or until browned.
Boxed scalloped potatoes in Instant Pot - You will want to use this double box with 2 bags in it and follow the instructions per how much liquid to add. Sprinkle in the cheese packets and stir together. Put your sliced butter on the top and you are set to cook. Lock the lid closed and seal steam valve shut. Set to high pressure for 5 minutes with a quick release, then lift lid, stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
