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.

• ▢ 2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese

• Instant Pot

Instructions 

• Add cubed potatoes, chicken broth, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to Instant Pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

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.
