Yes – but they may take longer to cook.

Made this tonight in the Instant Pot. I made the recipe exactly as described, even weighing my potatoes so I was sure I’d have 2lbs. While the overall flavor was good, the potatoes were WAY over-cooked and there was so much liquid it was like soup – not at all like how the photos look. I didn’t get any “burn” warnings but when I went to wash the pot, I had to spend 5 minutes scrubbing and scraping potatoes off the bottom. Oddly, the cheese just disappeared – I had to add more when serving the potatoes. I’ll try this recipe again with adjustments but I was disappointed this time.

In reply to Nicole. You can add leftover, cooked chicken. But I wouldn't add raw chicken to this recipe or the cooking time and process would need to change.

In reply to Kristin.

I’m so sorry to hear that Kristin. While the burn notice is more common with starchy foods like potatoes, my recipe actually calls for more water than many similar recipes by my colleagues.

I’m hoping to troubleshoot & figure out what may have gone wrong. Did you increase the quantity of the potatoes? (this would indicate the need for more water) What size is your pressure cooker? (The larger 8-quart cooker would require a bit more water) Did you stir the potatoes after the first burn message before restarting the machine? (sometimes just moving things around can help to avoid receiving the message again) Was there any burnt-on food or brown discoloration on the inside of the pot prior to starting this recipe? (Any “glazing” on the inside of the pot will rigger the burn message when cooking) Are you at high elevation? ( this changes the cooking times and performance of the pressure cooker) How old is your pressure cooker? (there have been many reports recently of Instant Pots triggering the Burn Message even when users didn’t make any mistakes in the cooking process. This has even happened to some experienced Instant Pot users who were using their usual tried & true recipes in their newly purchased Instant Pots. I have yet to confirm with the Instant Pot Company if they have made adjustments to their newest Instant Pots.)

You can always place a silicone trivet with small holes or metal steamer basket in the bottom of the pot to keep the potatoes elevated and help avoid getting the burn message.

Hoping to help figure out what went wrong as I always want the best experience for those making my recipes.

Super disappointed, we got the burn message twice on this one. I’m going to guess that 1 cup of broth is not enough for this many potatoes. Now I have steaks ready and no potatoes to eat.

In reply to Debra Addley. Good question. The slow cooker version doesn't need the liquid because you are basically steaming the potatoes until soft by trapping in the moisture they release when it's all wrapped in the foil & covered cooker. The pressure cooker version only requires it because the pressure cooker can't come to pressure without the liquid added.

looks amazing, noticed there is no broth or water in the crock pot version, does it need any moisture?
