Questions People Ask:

Can I use regular potatoes?

Honestly, I haven’t tried this recipe with regular potatoes. The only thing I could see being different is the cooking time. You’ll need to either chop the potatoes into smaller pieces or increase the pressure cooking time to accommodate for larger potatoes. In addition, you also will probably have to brown them in small batches rather than all at once.

Can I use grated parmesan cheese instead?

You can use grated parmesan cheese instead – I prefer to shave or grate my own with a cheese grater rather than use the store-bought kind.

Can these be made in the slow cooker?

You can certainly make Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Baby Potatoes in the slow cooker, but they won’t brown and get that crispy skin on them like they will when you saute them in the Instant Pot.

Do I have to use an Instant Pot or can I use a different pressure cooker?

Any electric pressure cooker with a saute function will work. You can also make Instant Pot Garlic Parmesan Baby Potatoes on the stovetop with a stovetop pressure cooker. Just brown them in a frying pan at the end.

Can I add other vegetables?

Sure! I bet some other root vegetables would be great in there. You may have to adjust the cooking time, however.
