Instant Pot Garlic Potatoes are tender baby potatoes coated in rich, flavorful garlic butter. Made with just three ingredients, this easy side dish takes very little prep and is packed with buttery garlic flavor.
These potatoes are one of my go-to side dishes when dinner needs something simple. I usually have garlic butter ready to go, so there’s hardly any prep involved.

How to Make Instant Pot Garlic Potatoes
Pressure Cook the Potatoes: Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place the baby potatoes in a steamer basket or on a trivet. Secure the lid and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes.
Drain the Potatoes: Carefully release the pressure, remove the potatoes, and drain the water.
Add the Garlic Butter: Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and toss with 1 cup of garlic butter until evenly coated.
Roast Until Crispy: Place the potatoes under the oven broiler for a few minutes, watching closely, until the skins are golden and crispy.
Note: The broiler finish replaces the original Duo Crisp air-crisp step, so the timing will differ. Use an oven-safe baking sheet, never the Instant Pot itself.
Questions Readers Ask Most
Do I need to peel the potatoes?
No! Baby potatoes have thin skins, so there’s no need to peel them.

How do I store leftover garlic potatoes?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F until heated through.
