Instant Pot Baked Potatoes
And then some yummy protein: BBQ pork or chicken, leftover taco meat, or other leftover meat from the night before. Such a great, easy dinner and a wonderful way to re-purpose leftovers!
Of course I am all about my instant pot and coming up with new, faster, easier ways to make some of our favorites, so I had to see if I could make our baked potatoes in there! I googled and found this recipe for instant pot baked potatoes and gave it a whirl and was really excited with how simple it was! And fast! So fast!
