These creamy, cheesy potatoes are ready to eat in only 10 minutes, thanks to the Instant Pot! Perfectly cooked and irresistibly delicious, this easy recipe is a total crowd pleaser. I guarantee it’ll become one of your go-to side dishes!

What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • These potatoes are SO very easy to make. All you have to do is chop up the potatoes. The Instant Pot does the rest!
  • Cheesy potatoes are simply delicious and comforting. They’re also kid-friendly (um, potatoes and cheese? What kid doesn’t love those?) and I know this’ll become a regular in your family’s dinner rotation. It’s great for cookouts and potlucks, too!
  • This recipe is great for meal prep! You can easily double the recipe if needed. These potatoes reheat wonderfully and will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Chef’s Tips

  • Different potatoes will give slightly different results and textures. Russet potatoes are my first choice for this recipe, but it’ll work great with Yukon golds or red potatoes, too.
  • You can easily make this recipe vegetarian – just swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth. It’ll still be deliciously rich and flavorful.

Notes

  • Cheese: Use a block of cheddar cheese and shred it yourself. Prepackaged shredded cheeses contain fillers and starches to prevent clumping, which also make it behave a little strangely when you melt it.
  • Make it Vegetarian: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

    These were so yummy! I didn’t realize I didn’t haven any cheddar cheese in the fridge, so I used Monterey jack shredded cheese, and it was soooo good! The time was a little long for my potatoes, and they turned out more so like lumpy mashed potatoes, but my family said don’t make them any other way! Thanks for the recipe!

    5 minutes is too long for Yukon Gold potatoes, they were mushy.
    Very tasty and easy dish, next time I’ll cook for only 3 minutes.

      Sorry 5 minutes didn’t work for you, Maggie. Did you use the full 2 lbs of potatoes? We appreciate your feedback!
