To make these potatoes, you add a cup of water to your instant pot and insert the trivet. Put whole potatoes on top of the trivet and close the lid. Turn the valve to a sealed position and press “Pressure Cook” or “Manual,” setting your timer for 20 minutes. When the potatoes are done, quick release your steam and drain the potatoes. Remove them from the instant pot. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh using a spoon. Leave the skin intact. Place the potato flesh in a large bowl and add your butter, sour cream, and milk. Mash the ingredients together and add in a half cup of the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until incorporated. Put the mashed potatoes back into the pot skin shells and add a cup of water into the instant pot. Put the trivet back in, placing the filled potatoes on top. Sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheese on top, turn the valve to a sealed position, and press the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” button. Set the timer to five minutes on High pressure. When the timer goes off, quick release the steam and carefully remove these delicious Instant Pot Twice Baked Potatoes.
